well if you can get under your car while its on the ground and work on it then be my guest. lol You will definitely need to get the back end off the ground, gl with the install!

my car is lowered some and I can access the rear lower control arm bolts(where the rear lower tie bar is installed)

ramps would help, but unless you're big you should be able to fit under.

no ur not going to fit under the car, it will be a horrible install. No you dont need to take the tires off, just rolled up on the ramps and you will be fine. GL with the install.
