Side jack points

Are you guys using anything special to lift up the car from the side lift points ( pinch welds) or just using a jack?

Don't want to use my low profile jack and mess up the pinch welds/lift points. Thanks!

I use a hockey puck with a slot cut out between the lift pad and the pinch weld. Seems to do the job fine.

Regular low profile floor jack with no issues here.

You lift it at the pinch welds with the jack?

Does anyone make jacking rails? I had some on my previous car from a company called BMR.

i just use a piece of wood in between. you can also use hockey pucks or any kind of rubber pad really.

I just bought this, looking to jack up the car from the side pinch welds.

Do you think it will work?

I bought something similar. It works. Although there's a piece of plastic under the car at the lift point that sorta gets in the way.

Cool! Good to hear it works. Thanks

I have some lock lug nuts I've been needing to put on but didn't want to raise the car the wrong way and mess up the pinch welds and such.

yeah it probably works. The side skirts and the underneath plastics do kind of make it a pain to get to it but it's no big deal.

I have a regular low profile and yes. I just jack at the picnic he welds.

This is what I bought for my big low profile floor jack:

Princess Auto is basically Canadian Harbor Freight. I am sure you can find one there or AutoZone or Pep Boys, etc...

I jacked it up by the pinch welds with no issue.

If you're really concerned get these jack pads:

I know some folks use the the "hockey puck" style pads but i'm not sure how it fits in between the pinch weld.

Hope this helps.
