I know someone provided an image in another thread. However, I kind of came across a dilemma. The front of the vehicle has the huge undertray that blocks the jacking and jack stand points. Following because I was going to install the underbody air fins that come with the Performance Package.

I have had all of the under chassis boards out, the picture that was posted was from the 550. The 650 and the 550 are not the same, they are certainly very similar but there are differences for sure. An example would be the Jack point shown at the center of the K member. On the 550 they are MUCH beefier. There is no way I would consider jacking from that.

Well, I would love to read an accurate decsription of where to place the jack stands on a 2024 Mustang GT. My car is arriving soon and I have an RTR front chin splitter sitting in the garage just waiting to get installed. Thx.

That's half of the solution. Where are you placing your jack stands?

I place the jack stands on the pinch weld using one of the aluminum jack pads. There is enough room to jack the car just back from where you need to place the stand. You can jack side to side and only put stands in the front or back or all four corners which is what I normally do that makes it easer to go under the car.

Yes I know the car is dirty have not had time to give it a bath after going over to Alabama for the MCA 60th event.

The second photo I posted shows the Jack in place and both stands the way I jack it. If you put the jack around the front edge of the door there is still room to place the stand in front of it.

$100.00 buys you 2: 6 foot jacking rails. Attach to holes and bolts already there on car. Jacking and Stands on both sides if needed make any job more convenient and SAFE.

Hmm, "Made of 3/16-Inch Plate". 1" sq x .120" wall x 60" long sounds better to me.
