How to safely jack up a car so all four wheels are off the ground?
When I do all the work on my car I'm planning on jacking it completely off the ground so that it's horizontal about 15" of the ground.
I'm looking for a place to put the jack so that when jacked up I can slide jack stands under the car. I have heard that in the front the cross member will work and in the rear the diff. will work. Then I can put the four jack stands on those circles next to the wheel wells. I would do the front first and the rear second.
Will the cross member and diff. hold the front and rear of the car? I will be raising a 400E.
