    Default Swaybar Installed!

    Received Mr. BahaRaon's swaybar months ago but wasn't going to install it till I knew a way to safely raise the F3 that high with what we had on hand.

    Heard about using a forklift, but those were in short supply in our neighborhood, so we raised her up this way.



    Had to take off a few more skins because some bolts were in backwards, but it was an straightforward job. The jack stands were peace of mind. It was a nice way to spend a morning.

    Thank you to whoever posted about using ramps to a truck!

    That's how I did my wife's F3 as well, except I put the ramps on my trailer. Works great.

    Excellent! I used the front end loader on my John Deere utility tractor to lift it. But your ramps certainly look more stable than what I did. Of course I do have a truck BUT not a set of ramps so my Deere did the job.

    Genius! I have ramps, but no longer have a truck. Might just need to build some stands to hold up the front end.

    When your driveway inclines upward from the garage - for an oil change. More dramatic efforts will be needed for the swaybar.
