No argument about using a lift vs. not using one. We just don’t have one and I had confidence doing it this way due to videos of Z1 and AdminTuning doing the install on jack stands. At this point I would say without a doubt the preferred method would be with a lift and to drop the engine/tranny. That said, it can be done properly this way and we are in no hurry. It’s only a race against my patience but in all we are both enjoying it and learning along the way.
