No jack necessary. I rolled up onto ramps to give me more room, but if you fit them your ok

as long as you are on a flat surface, the swaybar or endlinks won't be under extreme load.

RU-X i just installed my endlinks not ramp no nothing and it was a bit of a **** in the rain because of being wet lol but they were easy as pie.

a suggestion for the endlinks have a small long bolt so you can tap out the bottom endlink bolt. i had the stocks on and the bolt was kinda stuck in there so i grabbed a bolt to tap it out the rest of the way.

but it wasn't really even a problem.

i got the helix endlinks used shipped 2day ups for $65! so i couldn't pass em up i wanted the whiteline endlinks but oh well.
and i have the stock sway right now i am getting a whiteline rearsway from scoobytuner.com

Should have just waited for the sway to come . Would have only had to get under the car once.

Haa, that's funny Greg, not rain nor wind or sleet nor hail could keep you from putting on your new endlinks.

lol, that sucks man... u did it on the wet floor? anywho, ur tip came abit late man... LOL i just got back from a test drive... i think its gripping more... i don't know, i didn't wanna push it too hard being in the wet and never driven it before. i put the end links on the bar before i even got it under the car. it was easy, but i did take a long time on the bolt for the mount... **** bolt just didn't wanna go in the hole!!! y didn't subaru make both nuts? i don't know.... but yeah! did it without even taking off the cat/axle back.
