Jack stand question

Timmer · Jul 15, 2003

I recently bought a 93 RT/10 and am still waiting for the owners manual. I'm hoping to install a Belanger catback system this weekend and am curious how to go about putting the car on jack stands. It appears that there are jack points behind the front wheel and in front of the rear wheels. If I jack it up at these points, where can I place the jack stands? Also, is there enough clearance to do one side at a time or will it require to jacks?

Make any sense?

Tim,

You only need 1 jack. Find the jacking point in front of one of the rear wheels (where the loop is welded on) and jack up that side of the car enough to get stands under the frame (front and rear). After carefully lowering the jack to get the 1st two stands in place switch to the other side and raise enough to put the other 2 stands in. Most floor jacks won't fit under the car unless you have a really low profile, usually big $ aluminum. I cut short pieces of 2x12s to make a mini drive on ramp that I put behind the rear wheels. Its cheap and then alows me to use any floor jack. Good luck !
