I was thinking about placing 2x4s under all 4 wheels.
Thx for the tips and what is the best way to go about removing the rear shock?
You are right - how do you tighten the suspension bolts with the car lowered on its wheels and not enough room underneath?
2x4's will work OK but still tight to use a torque wrench. I didn't have any 2x4's handy when I was installing my PSS9's and it was Sunday evening. So when everything was assembled but not tightend up, I jacked the individual wheel up untill the suspension was loaded (simulating the cars weight was on the suspension) and then tightend up the suspension bolts.
