IMPOSSIBLE to jack up car onto jack stands.

[AKPS4]

I've read all the threads and the question has never been clearly answered. Where do you put floor jack and where do you put jack stands? How do you get all 4 wheels off the ground and have the car level if 4 jack stands.

There is no room at the left points to lift with floor jacks and then to place a jack stand.

Sorry, just frustrated trying to do so much in little time with tons of issues.

I believe you lift with the floor jack on the pinch welds, theres a specific spot for each of 4 corners. I have never had the car lifted up with 4 jack stands since I have a portable lift, but I believe the jack stands are placed under the control arms.

Ok figured it out. Jack up front. Put jack stand at rear. Then get jack stand on front. Do same opp side.

That makes no sense - back of the car will not raise anywhere near as much as the front that you jacking up... And even if you succeed on raising car that way and actually do any work under it; how do you plan to get the car back on the ground?

There is some kind of cross member or frame piece at the rear just forward of the differential. Can a floor jack be centered on that to lift the rear up evenly? That would get rid of having to mess with the frame rails

I raise the front by getting the jack under the control arm, then you can place the jack stand on the pinch weld. It is tight, but with a reasonably small jack and positioning it right up against the back of the front tire it will work. I haven't had a jack stand at the back yet though, so I can't help with that. I remember seeing some threads that warned about lifting at the back. Don't use the diff as a lifting point.
