Your supposed to jack up the car first and install/tighten then lower it down.I heard it will perform better that way also.

Also, just get the threads started on one side, then the other, then tighten both. You'll need to practically stand on it to get it on.

yeah, basically how i did it. jacking one side or not isnt really important. i did so much pulling and pushing the first time i worked out my abs, they were sore the next day.

one tip is not just trying to push it DOWN the threads, but i found i needed to SPREAD the arms out to match the stud bolt distance better. i imagine each bar is slightly different, but its a testament to its good build quality that its made to be so tight. ive owned two neuspeeds and both were tight to fit.
