Default best way to jack front of car?

Hello everyone.

I searched but couldn't find the info.

I need to change the oil on my 04 350.

What is the best way to lift it up and where are the best places to put the jack stands?

I do not have an owners manual for the car so I was not able to look it up there either.

Personally, I prefer to use ramps.

Jack points can be found in the Top 100 Questions thread linked from my Sig.

Owners manual can be downloaded here...

The car is lowered on Coilovers so ramps would not work.

I actually read the first page of that thread but did not see that as a question.

I will read some more, thank you.

Then you'll need Race Ramps. Very long low angle slope, perfect for lowered cars.

Look at post #47 of Top 100 questions.

Also, I use the little scissor jack on one of the sides to lift the car up a bit so you can get a bigger hydraulic on the front SF point.
