Jacking the Crossfire??
Just wondered how other owners are jacking/raising their XF for tire changes, etc.?? A couple days ago I had a situation arise that required the use of the on-board jack. It didn't work out well. I had run into (literally) a rockslide I couldn't avoid, and as a result blew both my right-side tires. Once back home with the car I set about removing the damaged tires so we could get them replaced. I began with the right rear and attempted to raise the car far enough to put a jack stand under the rear A-arm. Maybe raised it too high, didn't have it located correctly, or whatever, the car fell off the jack (wheel/tire) still in place and damaged my rocker panel. So, is there an alternative method to raise the car safely/securely while on the road and without a floor jack that some of you other owners use? I was thinking perhaps a lifting airbag that would stow without consuming too much space in the luggage area?
Also, can the rocker panels just be replaced with a factory painted part, just an r & r exercise possibly?
