Jacking the Car Up
by Scott Fabre
Last Update:

There are many ways to lift/jack your car. This is but one of
them.
Zoom ahead and look at the fifth picture. That is how to jack it
up on the passenger side. I did not take one when doing the driver
side. (forgot) My approach is to lift one side at a time.
I use two floor jacks placed in the positions shown above.
The above shows the forward position
on the driver side. I place
the jack on
the inside of the frame on a
flat section just as the frame turns in
toward the engine
compartment. Note
the rear jack placement is also in
place and both are brought up at the
same time. The jack stand
here is shown
straddling the lip. You can get
a bearing if you note the CAT in the picture.

 This is the rear shot (taken out of sequence.
The other side
would not normally be up yet)
Note the floor jack in on the lip where the "locator
arrows" are. The jack stand is
set in a very
convenient location. (above) but
see even better detail below.
|
 See how it mounts very nicely in the
partial rectangle area?
|
 This is a view of the car up on one side.
Now for the other side.
|
 See how both are jacked at the same time?
|
 This is the passenger side front jack stand
straddling the lip.
|
 That is all there is to it, very stable. No
jack-a-vett or
anything. Takes me 15min
to get this result.
