Easiest way to jack up car?
OK, young's here, and we both thought that the other would be the mechanical genius.
So, we're prob. going to attempt the sway swaps with ramps, but I've got jackstands which would be easier. Only problem is that I can't for the life of me see where any jackpoints are.
Please - any help? TIA!

Front:
Look under the car about 1.5' back from the center of the bumper. You will find a plastic jacking pad. Lift the front of the car here. Get it as high as you can, then place jack stands under the 2 front lifting pads(just behind the front wheels.
Rear:
Lift the car from the rear diff. and place jack stands under the rear lift pads.
Wasn't that easy?

Everywhere I look, it's Qwik giving out useful information!
Yeh, I'm not taking anything for granted in the install, jack points or otherwise.
Just figures I'd find a place that looks fine only to find that there something no sane person woulda thought of...
(Like people's window tint shorting out things that require the glass to be removed)
Thanks again.

I've been without the car since Tuesday, hope to get it back tomorrow. I had the new glass tinted first before putting it in the car, so it shouldn't happen again.
