Lets say you just finished installing a lift

[rammstein]

Lets say its a scissor lift (BendPak SP-7x).

It has two platforms that rise, and rubber blocks that you are supposed to position under the car. Where would you position these blocks?

P.S. I am the happiest man on earth right now.

you got yourself a lift? fuck you...lucky bastard..

The smaller arms that extend x2 are the front arms, they go under the front frame rails:


The longer arms that extend x1 are the rears. Go right to the rear jacking point by the sub frame bolts:


Remember my arms are backwards in these pictures because I have the car backed in. but the mounting points are correct.

This one?



I'd just make sure it lines up with the rocker panels where the jack points are. I would even put some wood on the jack points and make sure they're raised from the rest of the car.

in a shop or in your garage?

whoops wrong lift. Never mind, sorry.

[rammstein]

Yes, that lift. It came with rubber blocks that you position under the car at the correct locations. Earlier I tested it in the locations that Danny said (jack points on the rockers) and it works ok, although the lift platform it so wide it still contacts the inner frame a bit, but I'll just order some taller blocks so this won't be an ongoing problem.

This is in my home garage. This has been the biggest project I ever did by a long shot, and I am witholding pictures until its totally finished, but that shouldn't be in too much longer.

Funny thing, I bought an E30 and spent more than the E30 on a garage for it. These cars are a sickness.

Sickness? Yes - yes they are.
