What's the safest way to get your car on jackstand

[deputydog95]

Need to get all four corners on jackstands. What's the safest way to do it? My jackstands have the curved tops. Seems like they wouldn't be all that secure on those tiny stock lift points. Any ideas?

I would get jack stand with flat tops or buy the one that have pins for jack points. Occasionally, they are sold on e-Bay. Or perhaps some one else here knows where to buy them.

These are the best jack stands I've found AC JAckstands

Thanks. Got it figured out. More stable than I thought it would be once I got working there. I'm still going to look for the flat tops with pins though. THose ACs are nice, not cheap though.

GT3 Jacking Procedure

I have the DK20. You will need a hockey puck to place on top of the supplied rubber pad on the jack and a couple of 4x4 pieces of wood for the rear wheels.

Raise one side of the car using a rear jack point,

Place jack stand under front jack point, and 4x4 under rear wheel,

Lower car, raise other side using rear jack point,

Place jack stand under front jack point, and 4x4 under rear wheel,

Lower car,

Place jack under engine, the 4x4's under the rear wheels provide sufficient space to get the jack under the car.

Raise the rear and place jack stands under rear jack points.

Special Thanks to MDS for this one!!!! :jump:
