Would you tackle header / exhaust replacement from jack stand elevation?

If so how high of a lift did you need.....?

What about transmission mount replacement?

OK

thx for this pic. I have a pair of these jack stands and preparing to raise my 986S for an engine swap. This pic answers my question of how high? Guess I don't need the 2X12 I was thinking about placing beneath the ESCOs. What kind if cart (height) did you use to roll it away?
Thx!

I used a 500lb capacity "lift table" I got from Harbor Freight which would lower to about 10" above the floor so I had to remove muffler & rear bumper etc.

Those look like Rhino ramps up front. Is there enough lip at the front to keep it from rolling off? Were some serious chalks used

I suppose you used the rear jacking points to put ramps under the front tires one side at a time. Then using the rear lower Control arms get stands at minimum height under the two rear jacking points. Then using the central location moved the rear up one position at a time.

I suppose one could use the rear lower control arms as well to get all the way up.....
