i am trying to place jackstands and I do not know a jacking point. If I use the jacking point behind each wheel, I can not place jackstand because it is already supported by the jack. If I use the toe hook i can not lift it high enough to get the jackstand there.

Anyone with nice pictures?

 

dont put it on the mainframe...it bends...trust me i know. If you look under the car by where the sideskirts end there's a -| where you put the stand NEXT to... OR, if you have a body kit and the OEM jack doesnt work, where the mainframe ends theres a metal plate you can use as a jack point that doesnt bend...peace -> rep points...yei!

 

I am actuall looking for a place somewher in the middle of the car. so i while I use my hydraulic to lift and then place my jackstands where they are supposed to go.

 

in the front of the car there is a lift point just behind the radiator.(dead center you will see the bumper is molded to see it) or you can use the 2 tow hooks to lift by (1 in frot of each front wheel)

 

He said he's tried to use it but can't get it high enough.

There should be a large bolt right behind the wheel/tire, use that. You should be able to use that and the jack points at the same time.

 

id suggest getting a bigger floor jack. use the factory lift points to lift the car. then you will see the black subframe that goes around the bottom of the engine and tranny. you can place the car on the jackstands on that. it will support the car

 

I guess, when I think jack point, I'm thinking of the four vertical plates behind each front wheel and just in front of the rear wheel? Those are the jack points. Are you trying to use one jack to lift the entire front/rear end?

 

Look at where the arrows are pointing on this pic, there is like a half rectangle coming out of the chassis...that’s the jacking points.

 

a lil off topic, hey madcat what you use to get those NICE arrows in the pics???

 

^^coulda been power point, paint, photoshop, imageady...
And Hey, DO NOT put the jack on the black subframe...that will dent also...it happened to me.

Of you want to much higer, you must get another jack and use the jackpoints i told you about. How high Do you want it?

 

the sub frme will not dent, (its the strongest point on the front of the car) its a U shaped piece that wraps from the front end to the suspension (pics 2morrow)

 

put some wood under your hydrolic jack, and then lift it either from the spot in the middle past the radiator or by one of the two front tow hooks. then just put your jack stands in the "regular" spots

 

Could someone repost the images? I can't view it anymore, thanks.
