Ok since I am use to working on bikes and not cars I have to invest in some jack stands and a floor jack, as far is doing the Cat back install will I have to have 4 jackstands or will 2 do? and what size? weight? floor jack should I get? I saw on here a member put his on with 4 stands and it was quite easy he said. any info would be great, Like I said use to working on bikes and not cars so this is a new side..thanks...my Roush exhaust should be here Monday or Tuesday yeahhhh

When I attempted to install my Roush exhaust I was short by about an inch I'd guess of actually being able to do it on 4 jackstands. Getting the stock exhaust out was no problem, but the Roush exhaust is just a tad bit larger. I do believe you will need 4 stands as you'll need all the room you can get.

I unfortunately do not know the height of the jackstands we used, but if I had to guess I'd say probably 16". So, if you can I'd recommend at least 18" stands and you should be good, or someone that was successful can chime in with what they used. As for the actual jack I'd imagine you'd be fine with a 2 ton jack, but I personally use a 3 ton. I was at Sears earlier today picking up some tools for my driveshaft install this weekend and they've got a kit with a 3 ton jack, 2 jackstands and a creeper for $149. Seemed like a quality set as well, so if you have a Sears close by it might be worth a look.

Hope you enjoy the exhaust!

I made a thread about installing the Roush set. I used 4 standard sized jacks from harbor freight. There was enough room for me to remove and install. I would skip a creeper though. A couple cardboard boxes do the trick. A creeper will just mean less room between you and the car.

I bought this Jack, I was having a hard time finding one with decent reviews, and was long enough to get the jack point on the k-member from the front of the car. Being low profile too. IF you have a Northern Tool in your area, this jack is AWESOME! Arcan XL35

A set of Rhino Ramps works for me.

I seem to recall reading that there are clearance issues with the '10s and Rhinos? If so, some homemade extenders could solve that I suppose.

Eric, I have Rhinos and even lowered I can get 'er up on them.

So 4 or 2 ramps? I know the Mrs would be happier with Ramps she seems to think the car is going to fall on me ( one of her friend's dads died that way) so ramps might be the way.. so 2 or 4? are there different heights?
