Question:
I have 2008 Smart Fortwo Passion. Installation videos all show use of vehicle lift. Do you know ground clearance required when working off wheel ramps? Can it be done on ramps?

A lift is not required to install Curt trailer hitch # C11020 on your 2008 Smart fortwo. Using ramps or a jack and jack stands will provide you with enough clearance to install the hitch.
