You actually don't want to use a lift unless it is the drive on kind.

Mine were done at steve's shop on jackstands. HE said it's the only way to do it correctly unless you haev a drive on lift.

if you install the SFC's without them loaded" it can eventually mess up the chassis, glad it went ok for you Will

yes if you use a lift you have to either use a drive up or have the extra tall jack stands like we use to lower the car down on to.
