    I don't know how you plan to get some ramps under the car for the rear wheels but ok. I like the rhino ramps you can get at walmart

            what BLLDOGG is saying how do you plan to drive on all 4 ramps? you can't fit ramps in front of your rear tires.

              I used two rhino ramps up front and placed two jack stands under the rear axles.

                you can use jack stands on the rear axle to load it :)

                  I'm a rookie.....so is there a picture you could show me exactly where to put two jack stands on the rear axle?

                  I'll do this rear axle thing if it still makes the car "loaded" but my plan of 4 ramps was drive the car up onto two ramps then jack the rear up and place the other two ramps on the rear tires.

                    That would work too. If you already have jackstands though, you just put them somewhere near the wheels on the axle. the load is still there, just not on the actual wheels, instead just on the axle.

                      Hey, maybe this will help....

                      When I decided to do my spark plugs myself (and anyone will tell u what a PAIN that was) I had to lift the front on ramps.

                      So I took a jack, jacked up one side way up, and then slid the ramp under. I then repeated the same process on the other side. When all done, just go in reverse of the steps...

                        What's your point? The suspension is loaded if you put the jackstands on the axleshafts

                          thats too much work... why have ramps if u dont drive up them???? isnt that just like having jack stands?

                            I think i'm going to pay someone to do it. My buddy reffered me to some guy who is really cool and will do it fairly cheap. My SFC's are bolt on but I decided i'll just have him weld them in too. But thanks for the help guys.
