I dont have a problem.
Tightened up my driveshaft flange bolts that Ford left loose and no jack involved.
An oil change does not warrant jacking her up either.
GT take-off muffler mod, piece of cake at ride height.
Now tire rotation is another story....
I just did a fuel filter replacement and didnt need to jack her up or nuttin.
I even have the Roush lowering springs.
5'10" 110 Lbs?
Skinny as a worm...

Jesus I can barely fit a low profile jack under the front of this car and I'm at stock ride height.

Are you from Somalia or something 157db?
LMAO

Wow, I definitely got a good laugh out of this thread. 6'2", 230lbs here; I guess I'm NOT one of those ***** featherweight types

Sorry OP, can't help you with the bolt size. Maybe we can get 157db to walk under his car and check :-D

How cheap are nuts.
Its metric.
Get an assortment and be assured you have
at least one that fits once you squeeze under there
so you dont have to squeeze out and then back in again...
Be sure to take the needed tools into the dark abiss also
or another squeezing trick will be needed...
I'll get some pics up of the OEM set-up.
Or better yet for all of you that dont know that the
workshop manual is ONLINE....

Light and fast.
Its a two to one shot ratio minus the ducking and bobbing....
Dont bring a knife to a gun fight....
