Default Jacking Up The Stang

This may seem novice but I don't want to damage the car.
Where is the best place to jack up the car in order to get jack stands under it?
And where is the best place to put the jack stands?

WHere are you trying to lift from? the back? the front? sides?

There are lift spots on the sides behind the rocker panel you can use...if your lifting from the back...then use the axle...lift on the diff and then put the jacks under the axle...

What are you trying to do to the car? If you don't need all the wheels in the air, I like to back the car onto ramps and then set the E-brake and jack the front.

You should be able to do that with the front of the car on ramps, no?

I usually jack behind the front wheels where the Kmember meets the body. Look atpics of Tacobill's write up on installing Steedalowering springs. I think there are some good pics of where to place the jacks.

I am having trouble finding Tacobill's write up on installing Steedalowering springs using the seach tool. Do you know any good way to find that posting? Sorry.

I installed my Hurst shifter with a set of ramps.
