Using jack stands
I need to put my GT on jack stands this weekend to install a MGW shifter and paint the calipers. Where are the recommended position points to place the jack stands to avoid any damage to the undercarriage?

I believe the Owners Manual has some warnings about locations where NOT to use the stands. I have both stands and ramps and I've yet to use the stands on the Stang. At ~$50, a pair of Rhino Ramps is a great investment but stands will work fine if you pay attention to the manual.

I is guilty, I know it.
Think of all the axles I bent in 30 years!
I keep Ford in business...
In all seriousness, it could be a pain to jack these cars up when they're lowered and you don't have a low profile jack.
I do like the idea of the built in saddle the FR500C car has under the rocker panels, in te middle.
I want to duplicate this but I've been lazy lately...
