where to put the floor jack
 

okay so when i switch my tires i am usually at my buddies house who has a lift... i want to do them at my house tomorrow and i need to know if i can jack up the whole rear of the car (both tires) at once without hurting it.. i found this diagram from some other forum of the safe points for a jack. is this diagram correct? also is there a spot in the middle rear where i can jhack the whole thing up?

Pumpkin, your rear end.. Thing that houses your ring and pinion... drives the axles... turns the wheels..

okay that settles this forum, thanks hawarmat

To be on the safe side, once you get the car jacked up, lower it onto jack stands. Don't leave the pumkin resting on the jack.

Also, there are little indentations on either sides of the pinch rails, that's what I used. Is it safe to use the pumpkin?

From what I have heard and read and seen it is safe to use although ford says not too bc they are trying to save their asses in case the jack slips. Most will recommend putting it on stands after get it up too.
