Default Installing Exhaust... Need Input from DIYers

Hey Guys,

I need to lift up my Z again and I needed some advice. Where do you jack it up? So far I have been using what I thought was the frame rail (about 7 inches or so from the side skirt under the vehicle). But it is starting to cave in a little, which scares me. I wanted to know where are the good jack points and where can I place my jack stands?

Thx,

Reav

This time I just used ramps... But, Is it ok to put the car on stands on the shock base? I really want two stands on the car at least so is it ok to list on the diff pumpkin and then stand the car on it's shock bases? (the round metal part under the spring/shock setup) What do you guys stand the car on when working on something in the front of the car?
