Sorry for the mundane question, but I've seen some posts on here that are incredibly complicated about not lifting on the differential, lifting the entire front of the car because of damage to alignment, using a low profile jack (how low?), etc. etc. etc.
It can't be that complicated, right? 
Thanks to anyone that would like to weigh in on this. TIA |
You can lift from one frame rail jack point at a time. The car is pretty heavily built, so don't worry about breaking it. You can also lift the front straight off the ground using the rubber jackpoint in the center of the front axle, but thats way too deep and pretty hard to get a jack on.
When I did my suspension my friend and I had to get the car up on stands, and found out that the car will actually fully support itself on just one wheel and a jackstand. Check out the video in the link (sorry for it being sideways, instagram is stupid)
