Hello everyone,

Does anyone here jack their car up from their tow hook? For example, installing a solid tow hook and using that to jack the car up? A significant number of us did that with the S-chassis and I was wondering if anyone here does it, especially if you can't fit the jack under the front end, jacking it up from the tow hook saves a lot of time. I was thinking one could just install a tow hook (or even the Perrin licence plate relocator) and jacking it up from there.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and to see if anyone does do that.
