Having the car off the ground is a wise idea!
I seem to have an abundence of Jack stands!
Here is the ends I put in place. they slid together and I then Hung them from the stock origional hangers that were in good shape! The kit comes with New hangers to replace them if needed.
Usually I'm found working on my Pontiac. If you want to find me Look for the white picket fence and all the old Pontiacs parked outside. And the half dissembled engine sprawled all over the driveway!
