Will be worth it in the end!
Glad it all went well - some Epsom salt and a nice soaker, you’ll be good to go!

I just baught a set of the steeda low profile rails. Do I need to apply thread locker to the bolts or just torque them down? Thanks

The S550 has 4 specific Jack points, each point only lifts one corner of the car so you need to Jack up all 4 to lift the whole thing. Jacking rails allow you to do it with only 2 points.

Plus every time you use them, you fell like you are bending them up. Especially if the position is not perfect. For a track car or an autocross car that sees a lot of quicky wheel and tire changes they are a great investment. Even with a pure street car that only sees the home jack once a year. I would still recommend one of the pinch weld protectors/jack aids, which can be as simple as a slotted hockey puck.

Torque spec = tight ... we don't have specific torque specs for the jacking rails.

You dont rekon the bolts will vibrate loose?

I put my jacking rails on quite awhile back, never really looked at the car in profile from distance until not to long ago, my rails do show but not enough for me to take them off.

Love the things along with a rapid pump floor jack I got from harbor freight tools, I can take my tires off with ease in the garage, clean the painted brake calibers, clean the inside of the rims and put the tires back on in no time.

The instructions for my Steeda Ultralight rails specified 45 ft lbs. Also, on the passenger side, there were 5 small screws holding up a cover/deflector of some kind. I removed the screws and the jacking rail itself is holding the cover tight.

Also, there was no noticeable change in the feel of the ride (not expected), but it gives me peace of mind.

Okay, I stand corrected - early on, we didn't supply a torque setting in the instructions, I haven't looked at them in a while & yes, they are there ...

"Use the supplied hardware to bolt the rails in place, torque to 45ftlbs. Use the provided caps to cover the holes."

Had a set on my 19GT. Worked great. 5-ton jack centered lifted entire side of car. Takes 5 minutes to lift and put car up on jack stands. Putting a set on my new Mustang

Will this work with the Stop the hop kit? I would be doing these now and the stop the hop kit later.

Thank you.

Yes, that is the beauty when we design, engineer & manufacture our parts in house & especially in the U.S.A ... we can ensure they are designed to work in unison with each other!

I did the same. Steeda short rails at first and swapped them out for BMR long rails. I like having my jack stands as far apart as possible for easier access getting under the car from the sides. This is also another reason why the Quick Jack would not work for me. .

My quickjack works just fine, yes I can't get under the car between the wheels, but I am able to navigate from each quarter panel and get to anywhere I need underneath. Feels safer than jack stands in my opinion, and it's nice to have it lifted in a matter of seconds to tweak something real quick

Are these visible once installed? They are low profile and don't look very bulky.
