Default Can I use your lift for a 1/2 hour?

So today I took off my stock SS exhaust, and got ready to put the new cat-back on but the way it is welded I have to lift it up around 4 feet to get the bend over the axle. Anybody in the South Side area want to let me lift up the SS for like a 1/2 so I can put the exhaust on?

If not no big deal, but I'll have to pay a shop $40 to put it on for me.

drop the shock on that side and take off the rim, shouldn't need to raise it any higher than a typical jack and jackstand combo that way.

Worst comes to worst, un-do the shock, swaybar endlink, and an LCA bolt on the passenger side...pull the spring, and slide the exhaust in from the side with the wheel removed (kind of just one step further than Steve's plan )

Rather then going thru this bullshit. And trying to fine a lift. And if you do, it would only be right to throw the person some money. Stop being cheap and pay the $40 and have the shop do it.
