Lift points not jack points question

Hey everyone, I have access to a 2 post 4 arm lift. I am wondering if anyone knows the best points on a G35 Coupe chassis to lift from. I did a search and all I could find was information on jack points not lift points. If anyone has experience please let me know. Pictures would be great. Thanks!

While the simple minded may use jack points (cough...JKL1031), I would prefer to not mangle the jack guide rails. Thanks for the quick reply though.

No, really, you lift at the jack points. Had mine on the lift last week on the jack points. No wrinkles.

If you are really worried about, just use four hockey pucks, cut a slot about halfway them, and use them between the lift and rails. I've never heard anyone that used a puck wrinkle a rail. Cheap too. I use them all the time, no issues. If you can't find a puck, cut a slit in one side of a tennis ball(s) and us it. Though thinner, the rubber will do the same thing.

4 post lift usually has wide platforms that give less pressure and stress anyway. Bro..

Exactly, that's the strongest area and allows balance too!

With the lift you describe using the jack points is the best area to lift your ride! Simple minded? Not, just the most logical...Gary

Lifted a few G's at my house today and serviced them on my two post lift using custom made puck style lift adapters. These really aren't necessary though .

You have a two post lift at your house?

Can we be friends?

I'll bring the beer.

Use the factory lift points. I use nothing but a 2 pole lift to work on my car and never had an issue. Sill attachments/hockey pucks offer a piece of mind, but arent required.

^Don't be simple minded now, the FSM's were probably translated wrong anyways...

OP. if you simply look / feel under the car where the jack points than you'll find the lift points.
