Default center front lift point?

is there somewhere you can use a floor jack to lift the whole front end so i can place my ramps under the front wheels?

if so can you post a pic of where it is?

Yes there is but my car is in storage so I can't get a pic. Take a peek under there, its 1 or 2 feet back from the front of the bumper but its pretty obvious. You may be better off just putting a few boards in front of the ramps though, after the suspension decompresses it will have to be jacked pretty high for ramps to fit underneath.

There's a cross beam that runs across the car just in front of the oil pan. In the middle there's an indent that looks sorta like an oxen's yoke. That's where the jack pad goes to lift the car up, however, unless you drive the car onto blocks of wood, very few floor jacks will actually reach that point without hitting the front bumper.

That's what I was gonna say. Even if you know where it is, there's only a handful of jacks that will even reach the point without the use of a ramp or wood blocks or something. For me, I just have to lift each side for the front. The rear diff can be reached with nearly every floor jack out there, so the back end of the car is no problem.
