Possible to mount S stabilizer bars on a pit?

[k_m]

Just to confirm: is it possible to mount the S stabilizer bars over a pit with the car on the wheels/the dampers in rebound, or is it necessary to lift the car to get all the wheels off the ground/the dampers in droop?
I am not sure whether the bars are under tension with the wheels on ground, that's why I am asking.

I'm surprised no-one has answered this - I don't know the answer but pretty sure someone will.

I had mine swapped over at Spires by David Pook of Life110 - they may be kind enough to answer your query...

Obviously they have a lift so the suspension is at full droop - my limited experience of swapping ARBs on other cars leads me to suspect it would be at least more difficult in a pit...

Did mine on the drive using two jacks, easy enough and a tip from Matt, attach all nuts and bolts before tightening any.

I gonna give it a try tomorrow. If struggeling I will rent a hydraulic lift working space at a DIY garage.

So you lifted up up both sides simultaneously using two jacks?

Correct.

For the records:

It is very easy above a pit. Absolutely no tension at the bars with the wheels on ground. Job done in 2.5 hours with a couple of beers in between.

Super quick, bet the beers made the difference 😋
