need advice about installing headers. i planning to do it this sun/mon. I never installed headers, and a seem to hear a lot of people saying they have to put a couple blocks of wood under the jack to lift it higher. how safe is that? and if could see some pics it would be big a help.
I just jacked mine up enough to be able to put the front wheels on ramps (seeing how you can't just drive up on them).
After that I would jack the rear wheels up and put them on ramps also. After getting all four wheels up on ramps I like to mount 2 sets of jackstands under the car. I guess I'm kind of a safety monkey. Oh well.
By getting the rear wheels up even with the front it gives plenty of room to do the install. I'm a big guy so if I can do headers with this little of room - you can too! Good luck!

i just installed my pacesetters. one thing u can do to get your car up higher is to use spare tire. put your spare tire down, and put a jack on top of that and jack your car up..works wonders.
getting it high is the name of the game...makes the slide in from underneath much easier.

find someone who has small arms, cause theres some tight spaces on the rear of the manifolds trying to undo those are a pita.
i'm glad i could use my school's lift for my header install
