proper way to install SFC
if i jack up one side of the car wit it on a level surface then put something under the wheels that will be the same height on both of them will this keep the car strait enough for the frame to be strait or do i Have to put it on a roll on lift? the only roll on lift i can find in my area is a shop that wants $300 to install a set of SFCs. but i know a guy who does awsome welding (he fixed my frame where it was broken for the steering box) and he said $100 to do it but he said he would just jack up one side of the car at a time to do it.
just thought about some thing. is it posible to lift oneside of the car put a jackstand under the front A-arm & the rear axel then lift the other side and do the same? or will the side done first slip off of the stands?
