Slightly damaged the running board as I was able to get that factory jack off in time before any major damage. Used wife's vehicle to rush out and get a floor jack.
Now, in addition to my valley pan and valve cover gasket job, I have to replace the rear bag. I'll have the Indy that replaced the other rear bag 6 months ago replace this one.

If you're willing to tackle the valley pan...why not try the rear air bag? It's an easier job.
