Custom crash with jacking points?
 
Found these the other day....

If you had a custom version of this made with a jacking point built in (rear only) could the OEM crash bar mounting point support the weight of the car?

See picture below.

Why bother when you can just lift from the rear subframe under the diff?

I have the perrin exhaust and can easily get a jack under the subframe. I can also do so without having to crawl under the car.

I'm on Eibach Prokit and I jack up the side with the OEM jack and then use my low floor jack to get to the diff. It's not a huge deal, but it does add time whenever I have to jack the rear of the car up...given it's not that often so it's not a big deal imo.

Forgot to say, I'm lowered about an inch on Swift sport springs too.

Drive up on two 2x4s screwed together but with a step. Will be much quicker.

I bet a jack like this would get under even a LOW car. I got one on sale for half price, not much help for anyone not near Canada though. I'm sure they sell them globally under different brands/stores though.

That's exactly what I have/do now.

Just thought it was worth looking into as I need replacement crash bars anyway.
