Jacking points / Jack Stands

  

n0c7 -> Jacking points / Jack Stands (5/5/2008 11:53:36 AM)

Has anyone found good places for jackstands on the 07/08 Outlanders?  Same question for jacking points(especially with large based floor jack).  Have to rotate my tires and haven't taken a look under mine yet.

I was going to jack mine up when i installed my hitch, but couldn't find any good spots to put a hydraulic jack.  There's very few flat spots and the frame rails appear thin.  The manual shows specific points for the OEM jack, but they didn't look so solid either...sits on a lip of sheet metal.

I'd like to hear what others did too.

I use the OEM specified point from the manual to put my hydraulic jack to change my winter tire to my summer and everything was fine.

Where did you place your jackstand on the other end while the jack was holding one end up?

I go to a rental garage with lifts to swap/rotate tires. Take my tools and get it done quick no mess.

I did not use jackstand as I was changing one wheel at the time only use my hydraulic jack
