I have a new hydraulic floor jack of the SUV type, 2.5 ton, with 21" max. lift. Where
are the best (as in safest) places to lift a Westy at all four corners? The saddle on
the lift is not all that big. On the front, right under the socket for the OEM jack
looks good, but not sure about the same place in the rear.
Also have 3 ton jack stands, but again, the saddle seems to be the problem. If I put
it under the cross-frame at the rear, the frame is resting up on the ears of the
saddle, and that doesn't look very safe. And the cross piece at the front is way too
wide for the saddle.
Any tips and hints will be greatly appreciated.
I don't want any VW chassis numbers permanently stamped on my body.
