Direct from Ford.

I always have my car on stands on on the lift, inspecting or cleaning or checking something.

Jack point front.. This is with a general Floor jack, crossmember under the engine
Rear: The diff. make sure its positioned right, ford says not to do this because it may cause damage to the case.

Stands. Front you can see the chassis, it bends in, i put one on each side on the bend as shown:

Rear: on the axle or in your case, trying to get to the springs, on the chassis you can see it

Right on the bend lol the other drawing wasnt as good

 

Omg lol it wont work but youll see what i mean

 

ever since i lowered my car i cant bring myself to jack it up and get under her. i keep picturing my head getting crushed like that dude in the sopranos!

i know i probably wasnt any safer at stock height but at least felt like i had a chance!

 

lol couldnt resist!

I have to drive my car up on blocks of wood just to get my floor jack under it.

My next mod will be mufflers and I was thinking to back the car up on ramps for the install. Good or bad idea? Now that I look at my sig picture, this might have my chin spoiler scraping the ground?

 

some folks do it that way....it will seem
like a bad idea, if you back up too far...

 

i always just jack up each side individually and put the stands under the frame rails.
