I used my el cheapo floorjack under the front central jackpoint to raise both front wheels. Then placed two jack stands under the front perimeter scissor jacking points. Then used the floorjack under the differential to raise the entire rear of the car and placed two jackstands under the rearward perimeter jacking points. The jackstands could easily be put under the frame rails, but I liked the open access under the car with them on the perimeter. Each perimeter jacking points is designed to support half the car when using the scissor jack, so I don't see why not use them with 4 jackstands.

I just put a lift kit and brush guards on mine.

Thanks for the help!

Hockey,

Great Pic. This should be put in the how-to's if it is not already there.

Painting all four calipers at the same time is a real time saver. I'm glad you've been advised to lift the entire car.

Btw, I used the 2-part calipet paint. It took over 24 hours for it to dry to the touch. Be prepared to leave your baby in the air longer than expected in case you have the same problem.
