Jacking up 2006 TL?
Can you use a floor jack to jack up the entire front end of a new TL? I'm hearing you can use the aluminum piece under the engine. Is this accurate and if so where do you position the jack? I won't damage the aluminum doing this? Thanks. Steve

If your "hearing " it why not do it .. cuz if someone here says its ok .. your just "hearing " it again ... I usually just stick with the suggested jacking points.
Someone over in the VW Passat forums "heard" it was ok to jack the rear of a B5.5 up ny the center of the rear axel and jacked up the rear of thier 4Motion and brole the aluminum center carrier to the tune of a $1000 or so.

I used to jack up my entire car (integra) with no problems, I use a craftsman 3.5 ton jack, which shouldnt have a problem with the TL.
BUT, I tried to jack it up twice, with 2 different jacks (one was a craftsman low racing jack) front and back, both times using the center jack points, and all I got was a lot of creaking and I was afraid of slipage, barely got the tire off the ground, deff not enough to get under and work on the car.
For those using ramps, which ones? I have a set of yellow ones from sears, but I think they are too high, the a spec lip wont entirely clear it.

From the title, I was looking forward to photos of the first 4x4 2006 TL with a 3 inch lift! I'm highly disappointed.
The TL is too nice of a car to not use the suggested jacking points.
