Default whats the best way to fir pacesetters in?
I can not get my drivers side header in. I have pacesetter race style LTs and can not get them in, is there any kind of write up anywhere?

Put the header under the car like it is going out the front, then rotate it into place. You should not need to remove the steering shaft.

No need to pull the steering shaft. Lift your car up pretty high, and rotate it up and in.
