Message	If you have a lift and don't care about the AC, or the alignment, sure have at it your way. 99% of the time for 99% of the people, its probably not the easiest, but I can see that its a valid way to go. My problem is with your suggestion to use jackstands and to move the car around and have it at a tilt while on jackstands. This is not at all ok. The body alone weighs well obver 2500 pounds and falling off the jackstands would be catastrophic. Front suspension partially disasembled, possible jack through the floor, loss of life or limb for those involved. its just not smart. Antihero These 2530's ain't half bad ;)
