<html><body>The owners manuals for both the 100 and 3000 have the same instructions for jacking up the car. Front- under the wishbone plate, rear- under the spring u-bolt. The books never say anything about picking up the car by the frame.

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:small;">The problem with
jacking on the pumpkin is that on some designs the lowest point on
the pumpkin is actually not that strong and if it bends up the
crown wheel will rub on the case eventually wearing through it.
(Don't ask me how I know).</div>

Maybe I've been lucky, but it's always been stable.

Installed on frame. Question is can you install on out riggers
shown below or other place so you can increase the working area in
the center of the car<br><br><br><br><br><br>
Maybe fill in voids with trimmed 2x4?<br><br>
Let me know what you do for positioning the lift under the frame of
a BJ8HEALEYS<br><br>
