Just wondering on what stands you use, and where you guys are placing your jack stands. Also what are your jack points you use on your car? Just noticed the other day that the pinch welds on my car are starting to bend a bit. If it keeps on bending and i get a flat tire, and need to use the emergency jack, it might not fit in the pinch weld anymore. Not so good. So i would like to find new places to put the stands / know new lift points. I have been placing my floor jack in the center of the crossmember under the engine to lift up the whole front of my car at once, & from the rear i have been placing it under the rear diff. The jack stands are all under the 4 pinch welds in the notched area's for the emergency jack. Are there jack stands that are formed for pinch welds? i thought about putting a nice slit through a hockey puck to put inbetween the pinch weld and jack stand, but if the puck broke and im under the car i would probly shit myself. Any pics would be apreciated.
