I've noticed that the front jacking points on my car aren't level, and wondered if they've gone up as the car has been lifted - thoughts? It all seems solid.

If those are not where we are suppose to jack the car up from, then how are we supposed to use a quick jack? I have one specifically so I don't have to use a single side lift jack to lift the car up. So much simpler to use than jack stands and a shop jack.

I suppose you could use the QJ pinch weld blocks and lift from the rockers, but you'd need to remove the rocker covers to keep them from getting bent. |

For now I'll stick with the donuts. at most each is carrying 500 lbs. |
