Jack Stand Locations

Ok, was working on the front, and was about to take the front two tires off so I can do my struts/springs this weekend...but I had the jackstands in the center of the car, along that beam that seems to run nicely along. Anyways, the nuts are on pretty tight, so I had to use alot of pressure and the car started rocking, so I didn't want to risk any tippage so decided to ask here, what's the best spot for jackstands in front?

The best spot is the jack points. Look in the manual or just look under the car. There are two indentations at four points of the car's chassis.

Front: near the very front of the frame rails

Rear: jack the car up by the bump thats right in front of the b-pipe behind the frame rail and then put jacks up on the little "nub" behind the b-pipe behind the stock jackpoint.

I know you didn't understand that.

yea dont listen to this noob lol. before you jack up the car you should loosen the lug-nuts then jack up the car it makes it a lot easier to take off the nuts unless you have a impact gun
