RTFM........there are spots under your car.........

Front jack up...........about 6 inchs behind the front tire

Back jack up............about 6 inchs in front of the rear tire.

i tried to jack up my car from the rear arm but the jack wouldn't go up far enough to lift it off the ground, so i jacked it from the rear side jacking point then stuck a jackstand underneath. I recommend using 2, so the car is stable

I would like to raise my car in Cali... but I am stuck here in this winter hell hole known as Minnesota. Of course I could raise it in a wide open space, I think it would like that.
