in the front?

Morning All,
I was just wondering as have no ramps here neither a pit like when I did it last time, but definitely they need change, long overdue now.

Yes, you can do it with the vehicle on stands. As long as you removed the tension from the ARB, so both front wheels need to be at the same height, so wheels hanging free, or both wheels on level ground.

You need flexible wrists too, as the ARB bracket bolts are challenging to reach, and often rested up.
 
Ok, I think I can lift it that far. Had it done before to check the exhaust. Will make my way out into the sun, thanks.

Need to get the undertray off as far as I remember. 6 or 8 screws to loosen, no?
 
With a bit of swearing got it sorted, thanks Nodge68. On the front left one couldn't get the screws in first, opened the right one again didn't help first, as the ARB needed moving to the back of the car to get them in. It worked eventually but a bit more belly and I couldn't have done it. I guess none of the bolts for the undertray are original, all rubbish, will get new ones. Some don't even fit the thread.
