Jack stand mounting points
Just so I don't have to create a new thread. I searched but haven't really came up with anything. Is it possible to jack up the entire side (left, and right) from a side jacking point? (not from the pinch welds). I know you can do it from the front where the subframe is, and the rear from the differential. But my garage just does not have the depth to use those jack points.

even though I have a low-profile floor jack, the jack points are too far in to do it properly. So, I drove up on ramps (this image doesn't show, but I did jack the front up higher off the ramps and placed jack stands), which gave me the clearance to access the center jack points properly. To do the rear, I simply jacked up one side, placed a jack stand, and was then able access the rear differential to lift the entire rear.
I used the image below to find my jack points.

I never trusted those pressed steel ramps, just seem so flimsy, and me being the DIY cheapsk8 I've used these hillbilly ramps for years. They work great, the cost is only 1 sheet of 7/16" OSB and a box of drywall screws. These are 8x36" w/ a 6" rise, if you use 1/2" wood it'll be about an inch higher. If you have a real low vehicle just space the wood further apart and make the ramps 4 foot although this will cause the price to skyrocket to about $20 total.
And when you stack them flipped and opposed it only takes up an 8x8 corner of the garage floor

This deserves a repost
