And as far as jacking goes, we jacked my friends 98' up by the pinch weld and it folded in big time, pushed the rocker up a good 3-4in.

It folded in the pinchweld/rocker moments before it fell off the jacks which were on wood blocks. Might of had something to do with the driveway being gravel, and on a hill. Glad I brought jack stands.

When it started to bend -
Get rid of that horrible little jack. In my opinion scissor jacks are dangerous. Go get a cheap jack from orielly,harbor freight,walmart. They are all around $20 and much safer and it should not bend or damage the unibody with a standard jack.

Agreed. This was at a friends house where I was helping him install the lift. He asked me to bring jack stands because he didnt have any at the time. If I knew he didnt have a decent jack I would of brought one. Got the job done and learned a thing or two as well.

The tilt on my old Jack broke and pinned my hand between my rocker panel and a block of wood, I sat there listening to my bones crack.

Sometimes when my fan is on high it drops down at stoplights. Usually just burp the trottle a bit and its fine
