I'm about to put mine on 4 jack stands. Right now, it's got 4 jack stands and 4 hydraulic jacks. Here's how it's looking:




Is this jack stand point correct on the rear frame?

4 jacks and 4 stands? Whatup with that?

I don't like the way you have those orange jack stands positioned. The way you have them they can slip off very easily. Rotate them 90 degrees so that point sits in that lip and wont go anywhere.

As far as the correct points to have the stands you can use that area if you'd like. Personally I always positioned the jack stands on the 4 pinch welds.

Just dont jack up by the pinch weld unless you have the correct adapter to accommodate lifting by those or else it'll distort them. My preference is the front jack point under the front lower engine mount set stands under the front pinch welds lower the car down and then go to the rear and lift by the rear diff position the stands under the rear pinch welds and lower it down and you should be good to go.

Thanks, I repositioned the rear jack stands. I would hate my tombstone to say "death by Evo squash" (hence the multiple backups)

I did look into lifts at one point, and the only one that I really like is this floor lift made by Quickjack. It's mobile, doesn't require a high ceiling, looks stable, doesn't block the middle of the car, and can be stored against a wall.
