I am wondering what all of you who don't have a lift do.

Here's how I did it. For starters, my car was already up on jack stands and there were 2x10s on top of the jack stands running across the car to get it as high as possible off the floor. The front was easy, the lift was only about 2 inches to get to the bar to mount up. The back was about an 8 inch lift, using the engine mounting bar as the lifting point. I did this by myself - I used two very large floor jacks and placed three 2x10s one on top of the other on the floor jacks. Then working from the back of the car I raised both sides of the car up to the point to bolt it up. My lifts just barely allowed the lift to that point. Obviously if you have a beam and can use a hoist, so much the better. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
