Posted January 29, 201411 yr comment_440627 Pulled the trigger and have a Bendpak XPR-9 on the way. Looking for the best lift points under there or if someone has a picture of there car on a lift would be great. If anyone has experience lifting one let us know.Thanks.

January 29, 201411 yr comment_440633 A couple of options: fab up 4 slotted aluminum blocks and use the jack lift points, or use the four approved points for jack stand support. Congrats on the new tool, I envy anyone with their own lift.

January 29, 201411 yr comment_440636 Under the frame rail at the TC rod bucket and under the back outside corner of the floor pan (seatbelt retractor buckets if your car has them).

January 30, 201411 yr Author comment_440682 Thanks John. I dug up my pictures from 12 years ago when I had it on jack stands. Is that the right place where my jack stand is in the picture or the very outside rear corner of the "tubbed out area just to the right of the jack stand?

January 30, 201411 yr comment_440703 Here's the detail from the General section of the FSM: "Front supportable points for stand are both front side members. Rear supportable points are both side of front differential mounting cross member." Photos show stands at the front box member where it tapers to smallest height (at the floor pan). Stands at the rear are pictured at the box member running across the car - just ahead of where your stand is located in the pic.

January 30, 201411 yr comment_440704 I've pondered just building some fixtures that mimic the shape at the top of the factory scissor jack and using the scissor jack lift points on the rocker panel of the car. Basically a piece of square tube with a slot cut in it. Easy to get to and under what should be one of the strongest structures of the body.
