I was told that using a two post lift Vs. a drive on rack was the best way to go since the two post let's the wheels hang and the drive on rack pre-loads the suspension. Why is it better to use the two post lift other then the drive on ? I know alot of people have done it both ways and they will swear no problems with the drive on. I just need to know there HAS to be a better way to do this and I just want to make sure I do it right. Thanks guys!

You MUST do it on the drive-on lift. The suspension must be fully loaded for the SFC's to set up correctly.

You want to use a drive on lift so the suspension is fully loaded, so the chassis is flexed the same way as when you drive it.

is it ok to drive the car onto some rhino ramps and jack the rear axle up so its level, but the suspension will be loaded? Thats what im planning on doing.

Yeah that should work! As long as the suspension is loaded they'll be setup correctly.

Hello
Like mentioned above you want a drive on lift or 4 jack stands, or 4 ramps. It really doesn't matter what you use as long as the suspension is loaded and level to eliminate any chassis binding issues. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thanks

I coulda' sworn that I heard somewhere; you can lift the car in a way that unloads the front suspension to compensate for body sag?? Like, doors not lining up perfectly and whatnot. I guess not. If UMI is saying it needs to be loaded...
