How To Stainless Works Headers

so i'm thinking about doing this install myself. i was looking into some rhino gear rhino ramps to go along with using some jackstands to do the install. seems like a pain but i wouldn't mind taking a crack at it...worse that can happen is i end up paying someone to get it done.

for the guys who have done the install themselves, how high did you have to jack up the truck. i ask b/c i recently changed my wheels / tires out and getting it up only a few inches with a 3 ton floor jack was a challenge to say the least. figured the ramps would get me a decent amount of height to work with. any thoughts or suggestions? my driveway isn't ideal since it's at a slight incline (not sure if ramps plus chocks would work well). but the garage seems to be the best bet even though it is a little cramped.

I are going to want to take the wheels off so ramps wouldn't work

Safety first

Consider you may have to jack the engine up maybe an inch or so in some instances.

Can I get by without taking the wheels off?

Hmmm...I figured if the jacks are going to have the truck up high anyhow the ramps shouldn't make much of a difference.

no because you access through the fender well for some of the header bolts

damn...yea, i saw that they appeared relatively easy to access through the fender well but didn't see it explicitly mentioned in the SW instructions...unless i completely missed that part...

getting to all the header bolts are a PITA. u are going to need all the room u can get to be able to reach them.
