you can place a floor jack under the rear pumpkin and that will allow you to raise the whole rear-end, the front tends to be a little trickier.

^^^^Not to start an argument here. But, I would never get under my car if it was supported by any kind of jack or jacks. You just never know. As far as changing my rear bar while on ramps. Everything came off and went on perfectly. There was a leverage issue with reaching & loosening the top 17mm bolts, but that had nothing to do with the ramps. The F-Sport instructions are silent on raising the car.

My buddy is a mechanic, so we used a lift. As for getting under the car while on jacks, that freaks me out too. You wont find me under there. Some are more trusting than others, which is fine.

It was raised 18 inches off the ground. On 4 beefy Jackstands of course...
Never blinked an eye...

My initial thoughts were that the steering wheel felt like it required more effort to turn, no major issues with bumps, the car feels very solid & secure in the turns and doesn't give you that fall-off-the-chair leaning feeling. Very nice indeed.
