Yeah that's what you would have said when it was on top of you or you came back out and the back had laid to one side...

I shouldn't have said anything, and then maybe we could have seen some more sweet photos... Like a before and after... lol

I just bought a Kwiklift (www.kwiklift.com) for my garage to help with my projects.
I didn't have enough roof height for the standard post lifts but this shouldwork fine.

That's a pretty cool system there. I think I will have to pick one of those up one of these days...

Do I see just one jack under the rear axle?
Didn't someone here post a picture of the mustang jack points awhile back,
and under the center of the axle was not recommended?
Just wondering.

Couldn't tell for sure, myself.

But regardless of the reasoning behind any mfr recommendations/restrictions/allowances about rear end lifting, I wouldn't want to risk introducing any positive camber in that rear axle (I'll bet that it isn't perfectly zero anyway). Adding a tiny bit ofnegative camber would be an entirely different story.

I always use my rear diff as a jack point. There is no harm in it, they just don't want you to bend the diff cover. But if you are careful you won't...

That picture with no jackstands scared the hell out of me. lol. At least just jack up one end of the car at a time. I've had jacks fail on me, so I would never get under a car with no stands. BTW the rotors look really nice.

Chicken! lol. Yeah I hear ya. I did put the 2 jack stands I had in the rear, and used all 3 floor jacks in the front. 2 supporting, 3rd in the middle for safety.
