LOL......yeah, Chris ~ doing that would probably NOT be a good idea! <eek> I'm usually working on a hoist, but - if doing it on the ground and using jack stands - they need to be placed under some portion of the unibody "frame" that's separate from the crossmember/subframe being lowered with the wooden wedge(s)......namely, either ahead or behind it. .

As for updating "keywords" in the title or body of the thread, so the search engine can find it......that's way too complicated for a computer-illiterate like me. The article/thread - along with many other helpful hints/destructions about 2.3 Tom-Foolery - is here in the "FAQ-Submission Area" and now that you and I have both posted to it.......it's back to the top of the "heap" and easier to find, lol. .
