Single jacking point per side

[cojsl]

Does anyone use a single jacking point per side or at the front and rear of the car, and if so, where? Also, do you use some sort of weight spreader? I have a floor jack w/ 4" pad.

I'm asking because I see others at autoxes jacking from either the center of the front or rear, or toward the middle of the rocker panels so that you can change 2 tires at a time per lift vs. 1.

Is this advisable with the BG chassis, or should I stick with the recommended factory jacking points?

I searched the forums before asking, so feel free to link to a post if I missed it.

Factory jacking points for a floor jack are the little "hump" thing on the transmission crossmember torwards the front bolts and in the middle of the rear sub frame(you'll see where the sway bar is bent to accomodate this).

i use a floor jack with a large pad (6"?) on the pinchwelds with no problems. i life one whole side of the car at a time for swapping tires.

when i do tires i do front and rears in a pair. i jack up the front crossmember (front motor mount bolts), then jack up the rear subframe at the swaybar area (centered)

JACK.
