RSB Install time

If I can get it up on a lift so I can walk underneath it, how long should I expect it to take?

taking the rear wheels off will make it easier. it should take about 30 min. be sure to check everything after a day or two of driving.

I jacked mine up too. I took the wheels off and put them under the car and then rolled under there. I did it in about 30-45 minutes as well. It wasn't real tough, just have to make sure it is in the right place or you will get the banging of your life from the rear end.

Back before I bought jack stands it took me a couple of hours to install my Stillen RSB. Total PITA. If you can get it off the ground and both rear wheels off it should only take 30min or so.

You should be able to get Craftsman jack stands at Sears for $20 a pair.... maybe even less if ya can find some generic ones.... its worth the investment esp if you're gonna be doing more work on your car down the road...

I did mine with ramps. Load is not an issue since the rear bushings allow movement of the rear beam anyway.
