[s-cars] Kinda mbarrassing question

[Fred Munro]

I use the same lifting arrangement as Sean. I often use suspension mounting
points for my jackstands (trapezoidal arm to body bushings, subframe
bushings, etc.) and often use two jackstands rather than one. The U-brackets
are skidplates, not jacking points.

Those 2 U-brackets are probably skid plates to protect the frame rails.

I can't remember exactly where the jackstand points are, but I use 3/8
inch thick rubber pads on my jackstands to protect the undercarriage
from damage.

As for lifting points, I use a flat rubber-faced plate that mounts on my
floor jack at the stock locations (black plastic pads). Works like a
charm with no damage.
