That looks about the same as mine when I put it on jack stands. If you’re uncomfortable you might try making some wheel cribsSome people may have better things to do on NYE . . . But not me!
I put the car in the air for the first time earlier this month. Went fine, car was on 4 stands and didn't budge with a good push, but the jack stand heads weren't flush on the jacking rails. I'll attach some pics. I didn't get under the car as planned because of this. As you can see on at least one stand the pinch weld took the full brunt and the jacking rails didn't seem to really be doing anything aside from giving me a good place to put the jack (which worked flawlessly, getting the whole side up in one go).
Did I just place them wrong? Or should I go with k-member up front and sub-frame in rear for Jack stand placement next time? Hoping to change my engine and diff oil in the next month or two.
Or, option 3, this looks fine and I am making a mountain out of a molehill as long as I have a wheel and the jack itself as backup?
What are the dimensions? I guessing about 12'X12'.Old picture of mine, but you get the idea!
Sorry not sure how I missed this but close. 14” square.
That is exactly how I set my car on stands with one jack on each center side. I never use the jacking rails fir when If I plan to get under car. Other wise I use my Quik jacks with pads.I do the same, but I usually use the sub frame rail just in front of the bolts on the front. And the pinch weld right at the rear of the jacking rail on the rear. And I always keep the jack in place as a precaution on one side, and I slide a wheel under the other side once I have one removed... Just always been my go to way to do it, you never know. I live by myself so safety is always paramount for me if I go under the car. Only time I normally go all the way under is when I change the oil though. I get my mechanic to do most other things on his lift... But the wheels and tires come off at least twice a year for cleaning
