I also use carpet in my concrete driveway to work on mine. It’s kinda nice. You don’t really need a creeper, it’s easy to slide across.It's like working on it in your living room!
If those sway bars are Hellwig, you will need a second jack or a second person to get the front sway bar installed. I tried for over an hour to get the sway bar lifted and in position to get the first bolt started, and I could not do it alone. I finally got a second jack, and I bungeed the center of the sway bar to the jack and lifted it into position to get bolted on.I could use a little bigger piece, but it's 1000 times better than gravel. I got the back done, except for the sway bar, because it has a broken bolt and someone has tried to drill it but put a hole right next to it instead...
Gonna do the front, then go beg my dad's friend to help me with the sway bar and anything else I f*ck up, lol.
I use either cardboard or the windshield shades to roll around on to keep gou out of the dirt/rock/mud…They are soft. The windhield shade is very slippery it suprises me how i can slide around under there. I would get a piece of 2x12 to put the jack on so it doesnt sinkI'm about to do the suspension on my XL, and I have gravel outside of the garage. I am wondering if anyone has tried laying tar or liquid asphalt over the top of gravel, or maybe doing a chip and seal type of thing. I wanna be able to move my jack around easier.
My other thought is a big piece of carpet, which is probably what I will end up doing for now. Maybe a few smaller pieces so I can move them inside if it rains
