Re: Lifting rear of DeLorean

If you support the rear of the car there be careful as when you let 
the weight of the car down onto the jackstands they will move outward 
as the wheels move up. Also position the jackstands carefuly so that 
they don't hit the inside of the tires as the car settles onto the 
jackstands. I use a rag on a floor jack to lift the car in the rear 
but for the front a short piece of 2x4 behind the crumple zone to 
spread out the weight. The mounting point for the rear shocks is 
strong enough but it takes a little positioning to get the jackstands 
set so the are not hitting the tires and aren't wobbly. I don't think 
you will be able to do it properly with blocks unless you remove the 
tires.
