Hey guys. I have some parts that have to go on my car this weekend (providing I get them before Friday) and some have to go under the back end. I've been trying to figure out a good way to lift the back end to get it on jack stands in a safe matter. How is everyone getting there asses up?
I thought about jacking from the middle of the torsion beam, but quickly decided against it for fear of bending it or damaging it somehow. I know I could just lift it up at the jacking points on either side, but that is where I want to put the jack stands. So now I'm a little stumped.... I've only ever had to jack old Chevy trucks, but there are tons of jacking points on those things, and the Beemer I had was only on jack stands at the end of its life so I could take off all the important bits and get the husk hauled away for scrap. I didn't care what happened to the body on that thing...
I have the stock car jack, and a 4 ton floor jack, and a 2 ton floor jack at my disposal. Both have flat lifting surfaces. Any help would be cool. I know a bunch of guys on here have I stalled there own lowering kits, so there has to be a good safe way to get the 2 in the air. Thanks.
