Nice picture. I have a problem raising my car this high. I would really appreciate a "How-To".
I only want to use the recommended lift points. My car has a Stillen Rear Anti-Sway bar installed, so lifting the rear by jacking up the middle of the transaxle is not an option.
Thanks!

I am not sure exactly where the 'recommended' jack points are but I have always jacked from the subframe roughly in the middle of the front doors. Not the pinch welds along the door sills.
Just jack the car one side at a time. From that jack point it will lift the front and rear of the car to place both jack stands. Repeat for the opposite side. In my case the jack will lift each side higher than my jack stands will allow. Probably about a 4 inch difference. I always place the jack stands at the notches in the pinch welds (where the scissor jack would go).
Hope that helps.
Tint the sidemarkers and glass and she'll be super mean.

I personally use an Arcan 3.5 ton low profile floor jack. Best jack I have ever used (And I have used many). 3.5 inch clearance all the way lowered allows to get under extremely lowered vehicles. Max lift height is 22 inches, which is not the highest out there, it is about the highest you can get for a low profile jack.

Makes sense, but I need to locate that liftpoint on the subframe and in the middle of the front door first - next time I get under my car.
