Jacking up car after RSB

Since the RSB is installed you lose the ability to jack up the car with a floor jack under the rear axle. Are you limited to just jacking it up one side at a time at the jacking points?

Good Question. I asked this question before and someone replied that the jack points were the only way after the RSB has been installed. Sucks because you would need 2 jacks to get the car up if you wanted to do something.

2 jacks....yeah...though I would not be working under the car with just a floor jack holding up the entire back end.....USE JACK STANDS! but how often do you need the entire rear end jacked up except to to springs/struts?

I needed to jack up my 6th gen to install the greddy exhaust and I dont think I was lifting at the right spots. were do you place the jack when you have to have jack stands in the required locations? my rsb and udp and some other goodies should be in soon so I need to know how to get the car off the ground safely without damaging anything.

jack up the front left. put jack stand under frame runner (about 9-12" in from the side of the car, just beind the wheel well). let jack down and car sits on jackstand. Use jack to jack up back left. rotate left side tires. let back left down. jack up front left to get jackstand out. let jack down.

repeat for the right side.
