    Who has installed? Can this be done on jack stands?

    Bolt in or weld in, pretty much the same , car needs to be on jack stands front and rear , completely off the ground. Then just bolt or weld them in. I bolted mine and welded them.

      My BMR SFC do not clear the fuel lines on the driver side!!

      The passenger side SFC would clear as it's different (longer) - looks like they were made backwards but match the picture on their website!!

        We had to put a piece of metal over the fuel lines and then weld so we didn’t melt the fuel lines. Can you take a pic?

          I have had 2 sets welded in now and they always cleared the lines. I don’t believe you want to install on jackstands if I remember correctly as the unibody can sag on jackstands and then you weld that tweak in place.

          I thought you want to install them with the suspension loaded. My exhaust guy has a drive on lift and welded both sets for me. I can see if I can snag a photo of the sides at home for you later

            You might want to take the to a shop Robert, especially if their weld in. I think Mike is right they need to be loaded on the suspension, it’s been so long since we did mine.

              Like Mike said weld in SFC's need to be done on a drive on lift.

              Bolt in could be done on jack stands then re adjusted later on a drive on lift.
