Here is the visual to what Dave is talking about. Above all work safe.

 

Won't disagree.... just sharing somebody else's discovery & warning.

I can take my 2x4 out of retirement then.[emoji4]

The area between the jack points is weak. Though damage won't be seen, refrain from the wood & jack method.

I couldn't recall who shared the damage from using the wood & jack method. I just retired the piece I have below that fits the length between jack points.

The 2x4 method works fine, if you have an issue it’s a user issue not the 2x4 and your jack.

 

Yeah, I get it but most problems are because the person not the wood and the jack. Operator error.

 

You reckon they might've kept it up too long on the jack instead of stands?

Yes, you have to jack it up in very high is the middle with the 2x4 and then slide the jackstands in under the OEM jack points amd then lower the jack with 2x4.

* also make sure the 2x4 is back flush under the black trim. Don’t let it be stick out very far if any at all . Make sure when lifting the jack stays under the car and does not pull the 2x4 away with the jack as it try’s to roll back as the car is going up in the air.

 

Yup that’s me polishing and ceramic coating the driveshaft. Hahahahaha 100% safe.

 

For those who usually do this, has anyone removed the plastic sill & inspected the area between jack points?

I have taken off the sill and looked and it is strong. I also saw how if the 2x4 is not set correctly you can cause damage.
