These are good

Generally speaking, any where in the "red" zones are good jack stand points:

The best jackstands are the kind you keep in the corner or under your 911 while driving you 14.

What are jack stands?

You want the ten year rated models, if not twice that ......................... The Cap'n

get 6 ton stands. you'll love te extra room under the car
walmart has some for $24

STL 914 great pic for placement thanks

word!

25 ish at FLAPS. i put em under the traling arm..... at the pivot area.

I've always wondered about the firewall placement in that pic... think maybe they meant the engine mount bar?

Me too.

I tried to do it with my 4 and as I was lifting I could see and hear the sheet metal starting to give.

Never tried it again...

HF has the big ass 6 ton stands on sale right now for 19.95. Big sale next week with lots of other crappy tools super cheap too.

at the risk of sounding stupid (again) who is hf?

Sorry, my bad........Harbour Freight.....mecca of dirt cheap tools

HF is Harbor Freight. Their website is here.

Lots of cheap tools made in China with brand names like "Chicago Electric" and "Pittsburgh" and "US General". Great selection, great prices, mediocre quality. But sometimes that's all you need to get the job done.

i don;t know if it really matters, but these also have the locking pin that slides through to prevent the post from accidently falling

they sound great but mayor bloomberg has blocked walmart from opening any stores in nyc. just because they sell guns. believe that? who needs guns more than we do.
