Hi there Smitty..
I've done some searching but can't find anything on this 'Fun Fact'. Can you point me in the direction of a DIY post on this? Sure would be nice to NOT remove the PS Rack.
Thanks

No pictures this time, but I have the car upon wheel dollies so that I can move it around in the garage and get so work done this winter off-season This allowed me to get the car way up in the air last weekend using the QuickJack with the truck/SUV adaptors. It was just barely high enough to wiggle the axle back exhaust out of the car after removing the rear sway bar mount brackets and rotating the bar down. We actually twisted and ended up turning the pipe / muffler upside down and they came right out and went back in the same way. Pretty cool and very handy.

Mine should be in this week, ordered one on sale from Home Depot. Although I don't plan on dropping the drivetrain, one of my first projects with the Quickjack will be adding an X pipe. Looking forward to working with some clearance under the vehicle.
