[QUOTE="ttocs, post: 1588024, member: 11896"] how would you change a tire if you can't lift just one corner? with sub frame connectors I can jack one side up at a time using the rails under the seat but that is just because of the connectors. Those points are all fine the only point I do not like to use that everyone seems to think is ok is jacking from the back under the differential. I know most of the regulars here will chime in to say they have been doing it for years with no problem but to me when I imagine the stress put on it as you push from the center, and that is then transferred 3ft to the side where the rear end connects to the car it isn't something it is designed for. Sure they are built tough but now with 20-30 yr old cars it is only a matter of time before it starts to weaken. Also if you go from the front be sure to get it under the K member and do not use the core support. [/QUOTE]
