Where do you put your jack stands?
 
Just curious, I know you lift the front of the car by placing a jack under the crossmember and you lift the rear by using the rear axle housing. My question is where do you put the jack stands? :confused:

I dont use em..I use those roll up onto ramps...Well, used to, now that I work at a stealership, I just use the lift.

for the front I put jackstand under the A-arm mount and for the rear i put it right under the control arm mount on the chassis, not axle. i dont jack it from the crossmember and i dont jack it from the rear. theres little lips on the sides that youre supposed to jack from.

I would never use them anyway. I have heard way too many bad things about them

Where exactly are these lips? My Chilton manuals tells me to jack from those two points and menitions nothing about lips. :confused:

under the pinch weld is ok, as is under suspension components ramps are fine unless your pulling tires

My subframe connectors came in handy today, they make a great place to put jackstands.
