YES! I always did this before I got my lift. Grab a few of the wagon wheels you have lying around and throw them under the frame rails. At least then if the car falls, you won't get crushed and have enough room to get out.

It's getting safe. Got the wheels off for the new grand sport wheels. 550 for the set with tires. 325/30/19 and 275/30/18


I am really interested to see what this looks like when you're done.

after hours i got the throw out bearing out. cut it in half, and started to go into the housing, but i think it will be fine. I got the new one in pretty easy by heating up the housing and freezing the bearing. It couldnt of taken more than 10 smacks to get it in. It took over a month to get the clutch and new bellhousing. I should have it back together this weekend
