90seven Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Is the receiver strong enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 That'll work, but I usually just put the floor jack under the rear diff, lift the car, then put the jack stands under the frame on both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90seven Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) That's the problem I was facing. If I did place the stands on the axle I wouldn't be able to lower the axel enough to remove the coils. Or was there another way to do this? I ended up just placing two stands under the receiver and then lowering the axle. The struts were such a pain. I don't think I want the spacers anymore.

90seven Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Just realized I can't even spell axle right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I just used the diff to raise the car, then placed the jack stands under the frame rails (well, it's technically not really the frame since it's a unibody, but you can clearly see the frame rail equivalent), so the rear axle drops down like you said. I think you were fine using the receiver, though, since it's bolted to the frame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
