One guy can lift it.. but its not fun. I used a pair of jackstands to hold one up as I lined up the brackets. I would guess around 80-100 lbs.

It also depends on your inspection mechanic...some are understanding...others want to throw the "book" at you and scream, "Its altered from stock. Fail."
I just wanted to use some from from spring hanger after the muffler to rear of jeep. The only thing it would allow to move is itself.

I have this issue with my pipe. First it was touching the shackles so i had midas heat it and bend it over 1/2" and now somehow it bent itself back and touches/rattles when i turn right.

**** dude i know..haha

today, drove to school, senior campus and home, helped a friend take off his muffler so he can get a cherrybomb, a-hole neighbors called the cops on the noise his truck made when it started up, cop came, said to not rev it in the neighborhood and started listing off illegal stuff on my jeep, went to my friends, drove around in his backyard, re-alligned my hellas and almost missed curfew. thats about it.
