Default DIY Leveling Kit Installation

Do you think a handy guy could install some leveling kit torsion keys in his driveway with just a 2 ton floor jack? With no Torsion bar unloading tool?

Some say yes and others say No. I'm looking for somebody that has done it.

Might get away with a C-clamp. I did it in the driveway, but with the tool. It's just a big c-clamp, but has tabs that sort of lock it into place. Jacking it up takes a lot of the tension off. Took about 30 min to do both sides.

Thanks for the feed back Slinger.
I was considering a leveling kit last year. I've changed my mind now. Most of my drag strip friend are maintaining their stock stance for green light launches
