I knew there would be a reply to this. So to clarify and do some of the 
common sense reasoning we all must be capable of to sucessfully work on these 
cars here goes. Don't support it by the tow hooks! But rather on the frame 
area directly behind the hooks themselves, to which the hooks are attached. 
This is major structural frame area easily capable of supporting the weight 
of the car when two jack stands are used. Oh yeah , put one jack stand on the 
left and one on the right. :-) Also if the frame area supporting the tow 
hooks is so badly rusted that supporting the car is questionable, or that the 
tow hooks could break off, then you probably shouldn't be driving it either.
