Jacking up the car

So I'm sorta of in a bind and I'm not sure where to ask this. I'm looking to install my axle back exhaust at home, and I have 6 ton jack stands that I got before my fit, and a jack.

Here's hte problem, I'm not sure where to jack the rear on this car. My last car was a 91 Honda Civic, and I use to just jack the tow hook to have the rear lifted. Help? =D

There is a jack plate underneath the rear. Right in front of the tow hook.

You don't need to jack up the car to do an axle back though, I've had mine on and off many times and it's easy. Unless it's dropped real low.

as mentioned above, use the black upside down triangle to lift
using a hydraulic jack. dont try it with your scissors jack.


i used ramps when i did my axleback. imho it's faster and much
safer given that you use trusty ramps like rhino ramps.

im going to get some lowrider ramps over at discount ramps
pretty soon.

Yeah,you don't need to jack your car up to install(I installed 2 different axle-back's without jacking up).As for the jack point's,I've alway's jacked up my Honda's right next to the jack-point(the long rail running the length of the car)then put the jack stand's under the jack-point's,never have ran into any damage.I hope this help's.

btw, ramps or jackstands, make sure you chock your front tires when
your rear is up in the air.
