what ive heard was you got to drop the front end or pull the motor, but thats what i heard and could be wrong about both.

Uh, that's the tricks, to either put them on w/ the engine lifted out of the car or w/ the K-member dropped. Trust me, I did long tubes w/ the k-member in place and w/ it removed. What took a week w/ the k-member in place took only 2 days w/ it not there.

you will still have a hard time putting them in with the K-member in place, dont know why you went with short tubes cause theyre waste of money. jmo

and you seem to already know the trick, drop the k member.

just sell them, take a lil hit in the financial pocket, and get long tubes....you will regret putting the effort of putting those on. its been proven time and time again that shorties are a waste of money
