Jacking Rail options for Dark Horse

[roadpilot]

I went with the Steeda full length rails. Didn't remove squat except trimming the underbelly pan. Easy peasy.

Same.

Life is so much easier jacking up the car. I just need to get some jack stands so I can swap wheels/tires in my driveway.

Do you have the equivalent of Harbor Freight up there? These go on sale/coupon down here for close to half off all the time:

3 Ton Heavy Duty Ratcheting Jack Stands, Green

They are actually VERY sturdy.

And I put these pads on them to keep them from scratching the paint off the jacking rails (which would lead to rusting):

We have Princess Auto, Canadian Tire, Home Depot and Amazon so I'll find something on one of those.

I'm still waiting for UPS to sort out why they "can't find my address". If it's the same woman who is driving she is 5'0 and 100lbs soaking wet and probably not going to be able to carry the 3 ton floor jack I ordered (Vevor)

Now these look handy.

You use your jack rails for your jack stands as well? Didn't think that was recommended due to being too close together in the centre of the car?

I do it alllllll the time (with the non-full length ones). No issues at all.

I can’t find the pic of the new car, but here’s the old one sitting on four jack stands (same jacking rails):

Thanks for the demo lol I've got a driveway shared with a neighbor who parks his pop top camper trailer up by his side of the garage then his F150 behind it so side angle access is a little more restricted than I would like.

I can jack from the back under the diff no problem but the front is a little more challenging due to the belly pan covers.

Absolutely. The jacking rails aren't just for the jack.
