UR Axle back install

Is it possible to install the axle back without a jack and jackstand?
I'm being cheap and I don't want to buy a jack/jackstand to put this on lol
Also any heads up before I install this thing?

Thanks

I think that I bought a set of jack-stands from a friend of mine years ago before he moved for like $25. Suck it up.

I would say get the jack / jack-stands. You'll use them a lot when you have them. It can be done on ramps as well.

Harbor Frieght Tools has some really good sets, and they also have huge discount coupons in the back of Road and Track Magazine, (i think thats the one.) I just bought a 1 ton capacity shop crane from them using one of their coupons for $99.99 (orig. $179.99).

Its probly too late for that info but now you know.

Just back one side of the car onto a crub (where one sides tires are firmly on the curb then you can crawl/slide under in the gutter area. That'll give you another 8" to work with.

Might want to sweep first.

It would definitely be better to install the axle back with a jack and jackstands, but it is not impossible without them.

Back when I had my 2008 GTS, I installed my Greddy Ti-C without any problems without using a jack and jackstands. Now if your car is lowered, you may have some clearance issues but stock height is just right for doing an axleback.

Thanks that's what I wanted to know. I don't have my car lowered and the curb idea sounds pretty good lol

FYI your car comes with a scissor jack. Use it, block the wheels, then put something under the rear wheels.
