Especially when you are doing it with the wagon a full 12-16" off the ground......When I upgrade to 3" exhaust, I sure as ---- am paying someone, or paying someone to rent their lift!!!!

cinder blocks would work if you have a dolly to roll around on.
I use a lift when doing my exhaust, full working garage with an adjacent machine shop ftw

I make the section over the axle first, then use slip fits on every other pipe. I clamp them in as I go, and when I'm done, pull it out and weld. Then the clamps come off for better ground clearance.

Still a pain, but by far the easiest way to build exhaust on the ground, especially if you have an impact wrench for the clamps.

I'll do a pictorial whenever I get the engine back in my S10.
