Your best bet is probably to raise it one side at a time using the jacking
points.  You should use two pairs of jack stands: one in front of the
jacking point and one behind on each side.  Not too close to the point,
though.  Don't want it to tip!  Maybe find a friend who has a pair you can
borrow to go along with your pair.  You don't want to be under anything
that's being held up only by the jack.

Subject: Jack/jack stand locations??

Hi gang,

        I recently picked up a 2-ton floor jack and jacks stands. Where
are the best places to put the jack and then the stand for raising both
the fron and the back of my 84 Westy???

Thanks,
Doug
