Has anyone used this spot on the body to jack the front up? It looks like that's what is mentioned in the Pelican 101 Projects book. It seems logical. It's night next to where the front sub frame bolts up. I just get paranoid about jacking uni body cars up by the body and judging by the length of this thread, I imagine i'm not the only one. You can see the Pelican book (yellow arrow) vs where my ratchet handle is pointing

I don't know why you would need to use this jack point ?
You also don't need two jacks (as advised in that video) - I drop my rear tyre on to a brick to give the rear enough height/clearance to get the jack under there.
to fit well into the factory jacking points, from Amazon.
Just remember to lift up one side of the car at a time, exactly as shown in this thread. If you put jacks under both front jackpoints first, it will make the rear too low to get the jack under the rear bumper.
I've been using two of these for the rear https://safejacks.com/products/the-r...ck-single-unit with the 997 jack point pads and two HF stands for the front. A little pricey but they work well. They allow you to use the jack once on each side.

I tried those and their top corners crush the rubber trim. Do yours?
Yes, those pads. As you mount the top, say on the driver's side, its right corner crushes rubber flap trim. Yours may be crushed too and you may not care.

I used to have the RennStand and I too saw that the rubber flap was being crushed. My car was lowered, so I wasn't able to use those stands for long.
I switched to JackPoint jackstands and couldn't be happier. I use them for the rears and generic jackstands for the front.
One-jack lift per side is enough - you can lift the rear enough to place jackstands under the front.

That's what I do. Jackpoints in the rear, Escos in the front.
Why not just get the lift bar? Since 911 is light, a single jack at the center of the bar can lift the entire side of the vehicle then slide in the stands.
Yup, I have it and I think it's very handy.
For those of you unfamiliar with it, here's how it works...
