maybe I'll just do that only downside to that is I'll have to wait like 2 months to have them installed because of the damn salt and snow outside right now lol

I put my car on jackstands just last weekend to install longtubes...it was pretty easy.

I have 2 sets of jackstands, regular and some WAY tall 12 ton ones. I jacked the car up a little at a time making sure I went up evenly on both sides and ended up supporting the car front near the control arms with the tall ones and had the shorter ones on the rear, worked out well.
