Dont chew my arm off ;b i asked in different thread, no response so i got no choice

I know where the factory jack points are; the 4 side points, tow hook, and under radiator support. However, im asking where are 'side' jack points besides the factory ones? Or a spot to place jack stands beside factory ones? I dont like use tow hook and radiator because its like a balance to me, id rather do a corner at a time.

But if i were to put the jack on the front driver factory point, im not quick enough to swap the jack out and put the stand in in the same point :p supposedly, i can put the jack/stand anywhere on the sub-frame right? Yeah well... idk how to identify whats the sub frame and whats an 'implodable' part of a car.

Pictures of what i think for the rear for stands.



Acceptable? Btw, the middle of that "bar/block" looks imploded from previous jack use :/

I heard one time that somebody jacked their car up by the rear tow hook and that shit busted thru the trunk floor..

Guardian, sometimes I just put it on the frame next to the tab, then put the jack stand on the tab.

Is that what you mean?

I suppose, the tow hooks are designed for tension, but the supports are not designed for compression.

Dude, my pos gsr had that happen. Jacked up the rear one day by the tow hook and walked out 5 minutes later with my car a lot lower to the ground than before. Sold it with a hole in the truck too. Like a boss.
