I'll probably drive up the front two and lift the rear. I think the ramps are lower than small 3 ton jack stands. A set of 6 ton stands is really too high. No problem lifting with a 3 ton ARCAN jack.  |
I use the lifting point in the front center under the engine. Jack stands under the side lifting points. Lifting the rear I don't use the diff. I use a 4x block on its side up against the subframe at the rear of the diff.
