Lift required for catback install?

[jmasin]

Hey all, sorry for what might be a dumb Q... is a lift needed for install of a catback?

Some previous vehicles I've had have some tricky over-the-axle hoops that really require an angle you can only get by lifting the car a few feet. I'm curious if the Raptor is tall enough on it's own to do an install.

I'd really rather do it myself at home, but the jack/stands I have are geared toward a car, not this sucker!

Thanks!

I'd say you got enough room with it sitting on the floor. Drop your spare tire, that will give you more room.

If you have to, you could just jack up the one side a bit.

I did mine in the driveway without a lift, it's easy. ^^^Def take the spare down gives you much more room!!!

I did mine with jack stands old school style.

I did mine with it on the ground just had to lower the spare. Wasn't tough at all

I forgot to mention I did not remove my spare. Although I could see where removing the spare could have made it a little easier.

Just put a jack with a block of wood and jack on the trailer hitch. It gets the body higher and leaves the axle to get the stock out. No need to remove spare

Cool thanks guys!

Mods sorry I put this in general, didn't realize there was an exhaust specific forum... thanks for moving.

I jacked up the rear a bit with a standard floor jack and ending up removing the factory tips. Looking back if I would have dropped the tips first I probably wouldn't have had to jack up the rear end. Easy day.
