Re: How do you jack these things up?

Rear cross member can take a floor jack no sweat. Front "crumple tube"
is another story. As D vendors point out, "unfortunately they
engineered in a little too much crumple." Use a wide piece of 2x4 or
2x6 to distribute the load.

I position jack stands under the shipping tie downs. Figure if I'm
going to scratch or chip the epoxy, that's best place to do it. Use
whole tie down, including area where welded to frame.

Factory jack points are in corners of "floor pan".
