i got em on my car and they fit great

If you have access to a welder, some stock, and some time to kill, build them yourself. I would not consider that being a cheap skate. The ones you buy are nothing but stock cut to length with brackets welded on that you will either bolt or weld to the car anyway.

[Rustbelt]

i need to get some in the spring. $122 is not that bad. did u use jack stands or a lift to get them on? cause i dont have access to a lift anymore.

[8t6gt]

Lift. I four use jack stands make sure you put four in the same spots all the way around the car.

[Devine]

maximum motorsports installation instructions say to make sure you keep the weight on the springs. it's most important to keep left and right even, so you don't flex the frames.

Best option - drive on lift
second best - ramps
last option - use jackstands under the suspension to keep the weight on the springs.

A normal lift works just fine if you lift it up righ thats what I used and I didnt have any problems

yeah, i guess that would work the same as jackstands if you could get them in the right position

[Iownastang]

I PUT MINE ON WHILE THE CAR WAS on jackstands

[morgan29]

its safer to just go ahead and buy some it will make the bottom of the car look alot cleaner then just some scrap metal

well that can or cause some problems

when you lift the car it flexes, you bolt them on, and when you lower it, it doesnt unflex so your car is kinda tweeked all the time so it throws off your alighment

so its best to use a drive on four post lift so all the weight is still on the wheels so your car is just sitting normal, but your have the room and can stand up, so it makes it easier to put on

im not saying there is anything wrong with your car but that has happend a few times

That's kinda backwards. You should support the car and level it by the frame. Most foxbodys sag in the middle when they are just sitting on the wheels. So actually the frame is tweeked when it is sitting on the wheels. Most cage builders start by leveling the car by the front and rear subframe. That is how the car is supposed to be. The you weld in your supports to keep it straight and level like it is. But, you have to take great care in making sure you have leveled the frame so it is straight before you start. Otherwise it will never be straight again. You should not lift it by the pinch welds that will throw everything off too.
