I'm sure you'll be OK on items like jack stands, but I had a 6" vise from them that lasted me about a month, lol.
It snapped right the F*** off!! And I wasn't doing heavy duty stuff with it yet...

 

Same here.
But morons keep telling us that we, old school guys, are bending so many housings and axles...

 

is it alright to lift the car by the LCAs? the last shop i took it too couldnt lift by anything else cause i had relocation brackets and the steeda brackets are flimsy on the bottom.

 

Ditto - I just keep the cup away from the rear cover. It's sorta simple, and I'm a simple person

 

If anyone is wondering exactly what jacking up the front end looks like...

 

Good pics Andrew, that should help a bunch of folks.
Nothing like a good visual.

 

Nice pics! i always wondered myself,but i usually just use ramps.

 

This is not a picture of the S197 2005 to 2009 Mustang. It is of the 2003 - 2004 model years. It is in a 2005 Ford shop manual for the Mustang. Later manuals printed after 2005 do not have this picture. If any cares.

I use Jack and Jack Stands. The Jack stands are placed at the jacking points listed in the manual, Right behind the front tires, or right in front of the rear tires. The jack is placed a little further back (jacking up front) or forward (jacking up rear). This has worked for over two years, with no problems. Changed oil and rotated tires every 5000 miles.

 

As for cheep tools from China. What isn't made in China these days......

 

Mustangs?
