tony356 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Where exactly is the jack point so the rockers will not be damaged or do I need to use a non rocker jack point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbsFaris Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I would suggest the frame rails to jack, I have had mine up on a 4 point lift, and it worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubbsFaris Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 He is! I think Tony is worried that I think he may be pesturing me, but that is NOT the case Tony! I enjoy our talks and emails! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MYGT350 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Where exactly is the jack point so the rockers will not be damaged or do I need to use a non rocker jack point? Hi Tony, I have attached a picture of my GT350 on a car rack at the Ford dealer. The master mechanic was very carful where he placed the car jack points, so as not to damage the rockers. I hope this helps. Hope you are enjoying your car as I am. They are great cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalSGT Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I want my damn car! Michael, I got a call the other day from the Satellite Radio company, Sirius I believe, and they wanted to know how I liked my free 6 months of service and would I like to sign up for a subscription now that I've had a chance to try it out. I don't think the gal understood my burst of laughter. She said she'd call back another time.... All I can do is look at the picture of my car buried at the back of the storage garage, untouched since it's arrival last June, and shake my head.

I would say the front points they have it on are the suspension & should be back just were the unibody has that piece coming across . Where is Grabber when you need him. Grabber has photo`s of a damaged suspension caused by lifting at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh baby pictures! Now you must know me and my limited wrenching skills. Thank you. Yes, I am enjoying the car - maybe even enough for Mike, Frank and a couple other waiters.

Venom4U Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Oh baby pictures! Now you must know me and my limited wrenching skills. Thank you. Yes, I am enjoying the car - maybe even enough for Mike, Frank and a couple other waiters. Tony &Dubbs keep the pics and stories coming. I read and look at all of them. It helps those of us waiting and what to look out for down the road. I just can't be that far away. This is a busy month for me so it has occupied my mind. I found out that if I stay away from the weekly car shows it helps with the anxiety. Thanks again for insights on the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
