Re: Floor Jack jacking instructions please!

["David Swingle" <dswingle@xxxx>]

Put about 2 feet of 2x4 lumber on the jack and lift under the frame 
just under the engine, between the lower suspension control arms. You 
may have to drive the car up on some 1x12 lumber to raise it enough, 
it depends on if the car is lowered and how low your jack goes.

At the front, get a 2x4 long enought to touch both of the tie-down 
hooks and do the same thing. The 2/4 will bend slightly and spread 
the weight clear across the front end.

DO NOT just put a bare floor jack under the frame, you will dent the 
frame and crack the epoxy.
