I thought that i would be able to install them myself, but i dont know about being able to get access to a lift. if i cant do it myself where would you guys recomend getting them installed. i have a really big problem trusting people with my car. especially bolting then welding something on. i know that all 4 wheels need to have load on them but im not sure about others realizing things like this and my car not right when its done. what kind of places will install them. what kind of price for it

 

You don't have to have "all 4 wheels with load on them". What you have to have, is the chassis held straight.

I had mine done on a race car jig.

As far as price, does it matter? Are you in or are you out?

 

so can you do it on jack stands

 

I am curious about this as well. I have a 4 pt car lift in a level garage. If I make sure all four pt's on the chassis are equidistant from the ground, can I weld the SFC's on? Or is it really necessary to have all four tires on the ground?

 

I would not trust a lift to be accurate enough, when loaded with a car, that the car is stratight and level.

Remember, if the car is bent or twisted or otherwise not HELD PERFECTLY STRAIGHT, when you weld on the SFCs; they will hold the car PERMANENTLY in whatever tweak it happened to be in at the time. It is not something to be trifled with.

In other words, if you don't know how to do it and/or don't have a way to GUARANTEE that your car is PERFECTLY STRAIGHT, it's probably not a good idea to rig it somehow and ruin you car.

 

so my question is what should i do about it

 

Best thing to do would be to take it to a frame shop. That's what those guys do... they measure how straight cars are, and bend them back straight and square and level if they're not. They'll know what to do, and will be able to fix you right up.

People get them put on at muffler shops and stuff all the time. No doubt some of them either get lucky, or somebody that knows what they're doing does it, or whatever. No doubt also, some don't, and there's some people driving around cars that are permanently distorted. All things considered, it's not something I would want to leave to chance.
