I lift the rear by the diff.

 

I have the same one. The front is nearly impossible to get without another jack, or driving up on boards. Rear is fine for me, but I have to go in at an angle.

 

thanks for all the useful info. What is most helpful is to figure out how little I can haul to the track and how to MOST EFFICIENTLY get at doing the needed stuff. It sounds like the "drive on to boards" and use the front jacking point, place jackstands, then jack from the rear at the diff.

 

Or, jack up one front side, put a 2x4 under the tire, lower that side, then lift the front sub frame. I do this when the car is parked in my garage.

 

if you can get to it in the rear sure. If you use tall stands in the front or are really low then theres no way you will get to the diff.


good luck.

 

Rear first, then 2x4 under one tire, then front subframe.

 

Be aware that there is a smaller aluminum jack sold by Harbor Freight with the same rating, usually for about $80. It has less reach than the larger ones that are normally about $150.
