J Mac0123 · August 21st, 2007, 03:15 PM

What spot can i use to jack my car up, i know were to put my stands but i heard if i jack it up on the rear diff then it can screw things up. Need a fast answer trying to get this done right away, yes i tried searching. Thanx in advance !

this should help

J Mac0123 · August 21st, 2007, 03:19 PM

Thanx, but i have that, i need a spot i can use the floor jack to lift it up so i can get both the stands under there. ? Any ideas ? like so botch the rear tires are off the ground at the same time so i can slide both stands under there ?

HMUSN · August 21st, 2007, 03:22 PM

just jack it up on the rear axle (not the diff) and slide the jackstands under there.

it's easy enough.

just do one side at a time.

J Mac0123 · August 21st, 2007, 03:25 PM

Hey 8000 post hmusn ! So should i got like as close to the diff on one side and try to lift the whole ass end up at once or go more towards the wheel and do one at a time ? cause the front it already on some ramps so if i go one at a time it will be all twisty, that ganna hurt anything ?

HMUSN · August 21st, 2007, 03:29 PM

I would take the jacks a little more outward and do one wheel at a time..

you have suspension.. that's what its for.

just go on the lowest position of the jack stands just to get them under there..

then slowly jack up each side a notch or 2 until you get to the desired hight.

If you try to do both side at the same time could you have someone video tape it please?

HMUSN · August 21st, 2007, 03:35 PM

I know you arent suppose to but I have my rear end reinforced so I just jack under the pumpkin. I can jack on my rear subframe connectors and race both sides of the rear. Your car may have too much flex for that though.

J Mac0123 · August 21st, 2007, 06:33 PM

Thanx for all the input, just did one side at a time and slowly adjusted the stands. Time consuming but worked out in the end.

HMUSN · August 21st, 2007, 06:34 PM

cool. glad it worked out for ya.

J Mac0123 · August 21st, 2007, 06:40 PM

Thanx A lot

I apologize for veering off the subject a little but has anyone had luck with ramps? I bought a set a long time ago when I was in high school and everytime I tried to drive onto it the damn thing would want to push out. I even tried to attach a rubber bottom to it but still pushed out.

TheUNZippee! · August 21st, 2007, 07:39 PM

I use ramps, and haven't had them do that to me, but that's probably because my driveway is gravel.

bossman2kgt · August 21st, 2007, 07:42 PM

Have you ever seen a ramp shoot out from under your front tires.....its pretty damn cool.

HMUSN · August 21st, 2007, 07:44 PM

my car is too low to use ramps

lmfao no doubt man. Maybe your car is just too light. But a heavier car. Like mine.

Lay down some 2x6's in front of the ramps.

^ I know zip but thanks

I used ramps when i did my turbo, my car was to low to so i just removed my front bumber, it had to come off for the istal anyway. I know how you feel bossman, my ramps kept shooting out, i just used some pices of wood laying on the ground going from the wall to the bottom of the ramps to brace them and stop them from running. It worked great, almost to good, i almost drove off the other side .
