Quick question
Im in the process of putting some hooker LTs on my 98 Z. Im having trouble getting the LTS up into the engine bay, theres just no room to maneuver them. My question is, when you put your LTs on, how high did you jack up you car? My bumper is about 3 feet off the ground right now and it still doesnt seem to be enough

I had to jack mine up pretty high to get the pacesetters to go in. I had a crappy small floor jack 19"max with a couple 2X4(yeah i know, i did have jack stands in use also) on top to make it work. so it was probably around 24" up at the center of the K member and close to 3' at the bumber.
I didn't remove the steering shaft either

OK, so Ive notched the K member, hammered the body, and its still not wanting to go in on the drivers side. Its wedging between the steering shaft (which I cant really get off), a little block on the engine block, and the firewall.

Did you jack the back of the car up as well?? I had some trouble with the driver's side with Edelbrock LT's but a little banging and manuevering and they went in... it did take me a minute though.... But do make sure your back end is jacked up as well... You shouldn't have to remove the steering knuckle, motor mounts, and everything like that... do you see exactly where it's hitting at??
