Default installing the trd strut bar
in the directions, it says i need to jack up the car and take off the bolts to drop the strut towers without letting them fall out? do i really need to jack the car up?

yeah, or it'll be a _____ to take out the back strut bolts. You'd have to take the windshield wiper assembly off..which is a bigger _____ than jacking your car up...

raising up the front end will be the easiest to get the bar on.

the strut will not drop out if you lift the car and remove the nuts. it will just go down a little.
