Hi everyone, new member here.
I just found a 75k mile 2005 and brought it home, I wanted to get the car up on stands to inspect the front suspension and steering components, but I after I found the jack points I note they are barely large enough room for a jack, so just wondering is there some undocumented (safe way) to get the car up on jack stands?

Any guidance is appreciated.

I jack it up from the cross member in front and the pumpkin in the rear
for the floor jacks, I have 2 styles. Both work with the jack pads. If you use the jack stands for the pinch weld, you may experience an issue.

 

Thanks can you show a pic of where your place your jack on the front cross member?

thanks

You will need a really low profile floor jack.
You may also need to drive the front wheels up onto a few 2x8 pieces in order to achieve clearance for the jack

I’ve lowered my car so I need to do that. I also use a thick rubber pad between the jack and crossmember.

hope this helps you out.

 

I jack mine up the same way as UrbanE.
I drive it up on Rhino Ramps first, then jack up the rear. Then I place a set of jack stands under the rear jack pads. The ramps allow me to get the jack under the nose, so I can lift it high enough to place the front jack stands.
I'm looking to get the "Quick Jack" lift maybe next year.


No clearance issues with Rhinoramps for a stock Crossfire.
