    Quick help needed-jack point

    So I'm in the middle of dropping my subframe and planned to roll it out the back as one unit however I don't have the vehicle quite high enough.

    I figured I could either:

    - Bolt the subframe back on and use the rear center jack point to raise the whole rear of the car and re-adjust the jack stands

    Or

    - Use a floorjack to jack the car up one side at a time, however with the jack stands on the jack pads I would be jacking the car in front of the jack pads, is this acceptable?

    Bolt the subframe back on temporarily. The alternative is sketch because the car will teeter totter.

      That's what I'm thinking, at least I didn't move the subframe so it's more or less aligned and ready to go straight back up.


      EDIT: Bolted subframe back on...feels like..

        Yup I will tell you what happens if you don’t use the subframe. I’ve seen it at the yard lmfao!
