Good luck and don't freak out like I did as the rear suspension makes a lot of noise going up.

It's easy, look underneath on the sides and you'll see plastic with a few gaps where the metal shows. That's where the jack/jack stands go. VERY strong recommendation, splurge for yourself and get a nice full size floor jack. The can be had for about 70 to 80 bucks. Not a substitute for jack stands, but makes placing/removing them 100 times faster than with a dinky little jack like a lot of people use.

I already have a full size jack I was hoping i could lift the whole rear to place the jack stands at the same time since I'm planning on painting the calipers... But according to what ur saying if i lift the car there how am i suppose to place the jack stand while the car is lift on that side??? is there more than one spot to place the jack/jack stand?

I have a hitch so I jack up the rear from there and put the jack stands in the rear pinch welds. Lots of people use the differential to do the same.

I shouldn't have to say this but just as a reminder to new people learning to work on their cars for the first time.

NEVER GET UNDER A VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPORTED SOLELY BY A JACK.
ALWAYS USE JACK STANDS WHEN WORKING UNDER A CAR.

SAFETY FIRST

Very easy car to lift and numerous lifting locations.

I do the same but I'm using Esco stands.
