The pinch weld is used only because it's easier than trying to correctly position a jack/jack stand behind it.
I think that's the REAL jacking point, not the pinch weld. in fact, I believe this enough that i made this: Attachment 148748
I don't recommend turning the jackstand sideways though....that's just asking for trouble when it slips off. |
Those look great. If only they made jack stands in that shape.
Do you place those on top of your jack stands and let friction keep them in place?
I know there are some adapters out there for the jack itself to lift from behind the pinch weld, but I'm skeptical on placing those on Y shaped jack stands.
