Have you attempted to remove the "demon bolts" off of your exhaust yet? Many ratchets, sockets and knuckles have met their demise with those bolts.

Demon bolts came out just fine on mine, used an impact grade socket on them though

What was causing it to be off? Tires?

Yeah. One no problem either soon as I got the right point of entry and length of extensions, swivels and wobbles lol

Didn't hurt that the car was only a couple months old either I'm sure

Yeah, I can see the similarities

I have the 67" one piece version. They are really light and easy to move around. i hang them from a hook on the wall. They fit perfectly between the wall studs.
If you are lowered more than ~1", you will need to either make a 2x12 extension or pick up the race ramp extensions. The piece under the oem bumper was starting to scrape after dropping onto Swift springs.

A totally crap design to say the least.

I need to find some really good, really strong extra thick automotive tape so I can use only one layer and be done with it, and use that 3M adhesive promoter on it.

And for the ladies in the crowd, please keep the comments to yourselves about the super sexy legs and feet in the bumper reflections.

Same experience. It's ridiculous.
