    Default PETE

    Normal will work OK, you must be careful of tipping it.......ONLY PLACE JACK ( OR PETE ) UNDER THE FRAME........Mike

    If you don't have them already pick up some rhino ramps. They work better and are a ton safer too.

    I believe that with the RT you need to get it higher, 24" or so. Do a search there is at least one video.

    One of the hardest decisions you'll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder.

    Default Ramps

    Unless you are an extremely large person, two car ramps will work fine. They are very stable too.

    Have you installed Ron's bar on your machine with standard car ramps?

    Default Depends..!

    on how high. Ron's instructions are great..
    these with jack stands work well. One fellow here put ramps on his tailgate and ran the spyder up enough to do the work..

    What type of jack is the one you are using? I'll like to get one.

    Default 22 inches

    I just put on my swaybar this weekend. You NEED 22 inches minimum to swing the swaybar out. The jacking up was the hardest part, the installation was smooth!

    when I installed my sway bar... I loosened all the bolts using a pair of ramps under the front wheels... then I used 2 - 2x12's placed on the back of my truck.. once on the 2x12's have someone block the rear wheel.. the parking brake is not strong enough to stop your spyder from backing down... then take out the old sway bar & put the new one in... back your spyder down & finish the install..
