Rear jack point

HATED1 · 10-26-2010, 09:28 PM

Alright guys, stupid question time.

Is it possible to change out the exhaust on a car lowered on H&R springs, just by jacking up the rear end of the differential and placing jack stands on the rear area mentioned in previous posts?

Has anyone done it?

thanks.

Unless you're a Midget? No.

Get all four wheels off the ground, and make it easier.

EDIT. me personally, I'd jack up the front and put it on stands, then jack up the back.

Vipor, what do you use as the front jacking point? Or do you do one side at a time?

I did mine recently and I had to put the front on Jack stands as well. Would be too hard not to lift the front.

I'd get a set of ramps for the front, chock the wheels then jack the rear.

Would the suspension arms below the rear spring perch be a good long term jack stand point for winter storage?

You could use the spring perch itself.
