Jack methods

Hello all,

I've tried searching for different methods/options for getting the SRT up off all fours and had no luck.

I purchased 4 Husky bottle Jack/jack stand combinations and thought it would be a good idea. The only issue is needing to build 4 ramps to get her off the ground another 3-4 inches so the stand/jacks can fit. Has anyone placed a floor Jack in the center of the undercarriage (frame) to lift the whole side at a time?

Thank you for any help!

OK you can jack up on the metal seam in picture 1 if you have a floor jack addon for seams like in picture 2. Do not jack on the red X in picture 3, just along the welded seam. The other way would be to jack on the lift spot in picture 1 then put jack stand under seam. I have done this on my SRT atleast 5 times and likely more with no ill effect. Note you can look under and see the welded seam. It is in red circle in pic one or green circle in pic 3 (barely visible). Green circle in pic one is factory lift spot. Do not lift on your side molding.
