Jacking Points

[ewang]

I use a floor jack with a cross beam adapter on my cars including my heavy Escalade.

where are the cross beam feet planted in the example for the Genesis? on the plastic rocker panel?
If the body seam, how are you not deforming it?

Get a cheap hockey puck and cut a slot across one side to accommodate the body seam. It will fit in the cup of the floor jack and protect the car.

The cross beam feet has rubber pads that are wide so that they disperse the force across the pinch rails so that they do not deform.

Wow! I would have been nervous, waiting for a crunch! I'll have to order one of these and give it a try....

Looking Sharp, HiLandR!

The mesh style wheels look much better than I thought they would in my mind, and the silver offsets beautifully on that shiny Caspian Black. Very nice job.

Are they 19 or 20's and what rubber did you go with?

Nice. Looks exactly like what I'm planning, although investigating if 9" front/10.5" rear with a higher offset would work too, and still deciding on the wheels.

Very nice look! Incredible how wheels can change the look so much. Very nice
