Advice on axle suppport with engine removed Options

[sixaddict]

I have seen this at shop but do not remember how it was done. Have engine /trans removed for some chassis reinforcement work and will be moving car around...
What is best way to suspend axles so they are not "flopping" around.... ( I do not want to remove ---too lazy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) )
TIA

It doesn't have to extend all the way to both trailing arms as shown with the PVC pipe.
Whatever is the longest single piece that can be installed without challenge will do just fine. While expensive in comparison, my axle tool beats all the other techniques hands down. I only invented it because I've tried all the other methods mentioned, and got tired of the shortcomings.

While there is no doubt of the quality of the product you offer Chris... $190!!!
Hard to justify that kind of expense compared to the the solution I posted as example.
As to using a spare set of stubs, Id prefer to do that but sometimes its not warranted. Often it can be a real PITA just to remove the nut.

I raised the price recently because the cost of powdercoating is substantial. Maybe I should offer them uncoated for $50 less.
The value depends mostly on how long you'll have the engine out of the car and how much you'll need to roll the tub around.

IMO, a long cardboard/PVC tube is far better than the coat hanger/bungee method when it comes to rolling the car around.
But it lacks one feature - mine raises the shafts up high enough to easily crawl under them to work in the engine compartment.

Agreed 100%

Powder painting and all the things behind the scenes plus the fact volume of sales is relative small makes producing cool parts like this hard to make any money on.
