Re: Daystar lift installed... must read if installing in home garage, **TIP**

I use a similar philosophy, except I refrain from using a jack on the axle- they can slip out.

What I do is when I take the tire off the side I'm working on, I lay it underneath the tire on the other side, then simply jack the truck up enough to slip the jackstand out, then lower it.

As the vehicle lowers, the mounted side flexes up and opens the side you are working on so much that usually the spring just falls out. (Obviously one loosens lines and disconnects the swaybar first)

No prying or compressing needed!
