Support the car on stands on the pinch welds and only use a jack to move the rear end up and down.

Yep, that's the plan.....though I still don't like the idea of even briefly supporting it by the Diff. I believe Ford owners manual says not to lift or support the car by it's Diff as well, but I know lots do it anyways without any apparent ill effect.Quote:

Unfortunately this hip replacement has kept me somewhat limited or house prison for now.
And living in Oakville is a hike out your way.
So that you know, I bought a set of spring compressors from Princess auto when I did my springs, inexpensive, $30-$40 and work well.
Thanks DinoZ!! I'll probably hit up Princess Auto or just rent for free from Crappy tire/parts source.Quote:

Getting my hip done was assume. Absolutely no pain ever since. Must be coming up five years now. I started my "slow but steady air lift performance suspension install" one month after surgery. Did what I could from rolling around on a chair. Was not able to get up and down on the garage floor for I think it was three months based on the Surgeons orders.Quote:

Thing is, i was at the gym everyday before this and always kept a good weight size, I’m put off having to start all over again.Quote:
