Author Topic: jacking from the rear? 01ss87iroc 2nd Gear Member # 1763 posted                    Did a search and couldn't find an answer and, to top things off, the link at installuniversity.com is down. I want to use a floor jack to lift the car from rear. I use ramps to lift the a$$ a little but I need both tires off the ground and I'm not sure where to place the jack. I was going to place it on the rear differential housing, but thought I SHOULD check here first. Thanks for the advice! -------------------- 01 SS - #1321, 6sp, T-tops, SLP D/D, SLP mats & key fobs, SLP Bilstein, SLP PP lid - SOLD, gone but not forgotten 87 Iroc - 5sp, TPI, T-top, G92 Pics http://www.highspeeddriving.com/phpbb2/index.php Posts: 388 | From: NJ | Registered: Dec 2002  |  IP: Logged NATESS 3rd Gear Member # 982 posted                    the diff. should be able to hold the weight.

And then, as always put stands under as well, and block the front wheels. Posts: 5558 | From: Windsor, Ontario.
