Question Those who installed their own Roush side splitters

Mine has arrived! I read the install sheet from Roush and it looks pretty straight forward for a non-auto tech like myself.

However I have a question for those who have done it.
Since there is some drilling involved, the car likely needs to be raised up?
Did you jack it up and put 4 jackstand on it, so it remains parallel to the ground? Or how did you do it?

Eg if I'm installing driver side, would it be weird to use only 2 jackstands, one on driver front and one on driver rear?

Did the install myself, but with the help of a buddy of mine, who owns a garage. He was so kind and let me use one of his lifts to raise the car up. As my car is lowered, we put it on the allignment lift, which provided enough clearance to drill the holes with no problem. The install is straight forward and very easy, even for someone like me.
Do you have anyone who could let you use their lift for 30 minutes or so?

I did it all myself. Used a jack to lift up the rear left side, drilled the holes, then jacked the front left side and drilled the rest. Then the other side. Once the holes are all drilled the car doesn't need to be jacked up if I remember correctly

I took my rockers off and painted them and installed the roush splitters on the rockers before putting them back on. No lift needed! But I wanted my rockers painted flat black. Didnt want that awful plastic crap fading on me!

Don't have the use of a lift unfortunately. Me and a buddy are going to install these and the CS/GT fascia tomorow.

I think I'll try it this way, jack up one side at a time to drill the holes and then do the install.
