    Default Safety Stands (again)

    Hey Everyone.

    Ok, A few more questions about the how to with jacking up your car and putting on safety stands, Now the stands i have, I am unable to use the hoist pad location.
    Otherwise it would not be resting correctly on the stand, it would be resting on the point here.



    So am i able to use the stands here, and is it able to take all the weight of the car.




    I Have Looked for other points but i cant seem to make any sense and if it would be safe todo.


    I Use these locations on the front of both the VR and VX For the front, is that ok? As it is the main rails.

    VX



    VR, Just behind the Front Jacking point location.


    If not any suggestions and pics would be awesome. I Want to make sure its right, after all safety first.

    Thanks in advanced.

    Use the rails not the sills , sills only good for jacking using the factory jack ..

    Ok, So where can i put the stands instead of the sills? Cant use the hoist point. and one got a pick with where i can put them? Talking about holding the rear of the car not the front.
    As i cant seem to find any rails on the rear of the car
