What's the best way of Lifting a 2021 RTL to work on the Sway bar?

[Snoking1127]

I have done three or four now. Get everything ready raised up a little on blocks and call my buddy that hauls his SxS on a custom flat bed. Drive up his ramps and swap bars and then back on the blocks to finish installation.

Rode the 2020 RTL up on a set of ramps then out came the 3 ton floor jack and a set of 6 ton jack stands and all was good.

I now have these to work onher RTL

I'm lucky enough to own a 4 post lift as I own and work on several vintage cars. I also take my hobby serious in regards to working on things safely and convenient. If I was looking to get a spyder up in the air, I would go with a Big Blue. It has hardware made for a spyder. So it's not just about installing a sway bar today, but rear tire changes, oil changes, and just getting it up in the air so us old farts are crawling on our knees while your washing or detailing

That's how I did mine too. Get it up on blocks for lots of room for swinging wrenches and just used ramps to swap bars.

Those knees you mention are one of the reasons I did NOT go with the big blue lift, PJ. On the ‘20+ RT, you have to remove a floorboard to get it close enough, which you can only do by getting down on your knees. Then you have to bolt the rear end of the Blue to your frame, which you can only do by getting down on your knees/back.:dontknow: Then you need a geared power drill to lift the Spyder as you will soon ruin a non geared drill.

I have no doubt that the big blue is the most stable lift, but it certainly doesn’t work for me. If it was designed so you didn’t have to remove the floorboard, and had a different fastening system, using maybe the floorboards, I would have one in my garage.

I bought them off amazon. They were $213 before taxes and the deck will go 15 in high. Each one has a 5 ton bottle jack to lift and with the deck down they are 9 in tall.

What I would give for a 4 post lift, PJ :thumbup: I’m very jealous. I would have NO issues removing the rear wheel then :2thumbs:

I consider myself lucky to have found a solid used unit from the early 80's for super cheap and have the room to set it up. It came from a local shop going out of business and looked like a mess when I brought it home. Took longer to figure it all out than it did to set it up.
