BF falcon jack points and jack stand points

[Billy Mac]

Hey guys I am trying to learn whats the best way to jack the front of the car up with a trolley jack I  dont wont to destroy my pinch wield jack points how can I jack it up from the front and rear and where do I put my jack stands cheers

I've used the front of the engine-k-frame for a trolley jack and then put the stands under the standard hard-points just behind each front wheel... but it does marr the surface of the k-frame, so it's not ideal if you care about the look/surface of the k-frame... if you want to do it completely properly, just jack it up via the standard hard-points and put the first jack-stand anywhere (on something almost as hard, not the side-skirt haha) near the hard-point temporarily and then jack up the other side and re-position the original stand to the hard-point and then reverse the procedure (from side to side) to end up with both stands on the standard hard points.

Does anyone see any issues with this method of lifting the car, especially using the front of the K-frame as a jack point? Also, is there a better way to avoid damaging the surface while still safely getting both jack stands onto the proper hard points?

a hoist avoids it

I have lifted my cars from the kframe.

 

If you are worried about leaving any marks, you could put something between the surface of the jack and the kframe (eg rag, rubber mat, wood),- just make sure that what you use does not affect safety while the car is being lifted.
