Can I place the jack stand on the yellow highlighted portion below? I don’t have space to pull my jack stand to the left a little in order to place it directly on the pinch weld (which is what I read to use for the jack stands) due to my jack being in the way/wide. I wasn’t sure if whatever that piece is, can support the weight of the car. Any help is appreciated.

I wouldn’t try anything other than the pinch welds, there’s some plastics back there that can crumble iirc

Thanks. I guess what I will have to do then is to uninstall my rear lift pads. Right now, it’s installed all the way to the right closest to the rear tire). If I remove them and install them all the way to the left, I’ll have space to put a jackstand to the right of it and not have to worry about whatever that metal piece is that I highlighted.

I've been putting my jack stands over that bolt (not on the yellow like a pinch) to where the sides of the jack stand top touch either side of that bolt. No issues


There's an image on the forum somewhere with highlighted jack points

Thanks. I just rewatched the lethal video where he shows where to put the stands and he also showed putting the stands over that bolt that’s parallel to the line I drew. When I watched it a few days ago, that made me nervous but after examining that area I think it’s fine and you also said you have not had any issues doing that. Glad I don’t have to remove my lift pads because I lock tighted them on a few years ago.

This is how I would do it, too.

You put a jack stand under that pinch weld and it'll fold right up. YOu would need a jack puck with a slot in it to make that work.
Buy yourself a $30 set of jack pads off Amazon and install them. They work perfectly this.

Yep that’s actually what’s already on my car. The problem was I have the rear pads installed all the way to the left/right (depending on what side you are on) as close to the rear tire as possible. This leaves not enough room to place my jack stand on the pinch weld due to the width of the floor jack and whatever that metal piece is that I photographed as it’s too close to the pinch weld for the top of my jack stand to fit.

I actually bought rubber covers for the jack stand top with a slot built in it in order to avoid bending the pinch welds.
