LOL, ok Matt. Ummm, I think I really need some circles. I see the rail but I can't spot exactly where the jack point is located

4. Put the jack in the jack notch
next to the tire you are changing.

Could that get anymore vague?

I use the frame rail on all other cars but not my stang.....East87...those are the spots I use too and have a long 3 ton low profile car jack to accomplish this....steer clear of the fuel filter guys when using those spots.....I also use the rear diff (oh god no) and have no issues but use a 2x4 and jack stands on each side of the pumpkin once the car is in the air....no worries

i got 3 jacks and 8-10 stands lol

craftsman cheapy model
2 ton aluminum racing
4 ton craftsman heavy duty <-damn thing weighs like 40 lbs lol

they all serve there purpose, i love the 4 ton to just raise one side of the car at a time and it has a great lift to it too. the damn OEM scissor jack isnt even in the car, neither is the spare for that matter.
