thats where i jack it and it sucks. i want to know if theres another place on the car that people are jacking the car up from. pics would be appreciated.

 

jack on the spot shown in that picture. It is equivalent to the frame rail on a full-frame vehicle. we use that rail for jacking, jack stands, and lifting on the hoist. The cradle is plenty strong for a jack or jack stands up front.

 

here, I got a picture out of the GM service manual

 

Thanks aussiek2000. I think that solves it!

 

thanks man.

 

Thanks Aussie!

Sorry to bring up an old post but i have to give thanks. I will be jacking up my car with my first jack today!

 

We'll give you credit for acknowledging you brought an old post back from the dead. Most people either don't know, or don't car.:pI've been guilty of it on other forums.:p

 

Many thanks AussieK2000 for the post!

 

I was still having a bit of an issue with jacking the car up without denting certain spots so I went digging further and found the extension to aussiek2000's posted photo.... yet I would still like to know where the jack stands should go. If I jack up at the bolted pinchweld, where is left to put the stand?

 

If you are using 4 point lift why worry about jack stands ?
