ok please don't flame me,but I am wondering where is the best spot to put the jack when changing a flat tire? I noticed the other day for the first time that underneath the left rear panel right behind the wheel there is a dent that someone before me; put the j to change a tire and bent the bottom of the panel. . I noticed that reading the orginal owners booklet said that if the hearse is taken to a shop the CAN NOT USE A FRAME LIFT AT ALL it says they have to have the front raised by the lower control arms ONLY close to the wheels as possible and the rear I guess it is called a basket cradel for the rear? the picture shows it is on each side of the rear end differencial cover and lift the car ONly that way? so I am just trying to see where the proper location is on a hearse ,for future use with out causing any damage. thank you

I lift mine from:
the control arms, near the tires under the coil springs
the frame under the oil pan
the axle near the rear leaf springs
the differential
the frame at the front & back were it's flat & wide (behind the front tires & in front of the rear tires)
Never had a problem yet & even the tire shops lift mine from those spots as well.

Yeah, that does suck, but I use cupped jacks to reduce that problem.
The last time I had the jack slip of the axle it but a 4 inch in diameter & about an inch deep dent in my floor pan. Thankfully it wasn't seen or felt from inside the car since it was under the table of one of my previous hearses.
