My jackstands didn't come with those adapter things to match up with the pinch welds... Do they sell them seperately?

It isn't US General, but it's pretty much the same thing right?

If you remind me, I can bring for you at the meet.

jcwhitney used to carry them. to be honest, they are a waste of money. you arnt going to damage the pinch welds without them. if youre really worried, just place them under the control arm mounts rather than the pinch welds

I'll take a picture for you guys where to place your jack stands. I work on a G every week and never place the jack stands on the pinch welds!!!

I use 2x4s nailed together, one half the length of the other to create a preramp for my standard Sears 3 ton garage jack to fit under the vehicle. I use a Harbor Freight jack pad on the cup portion of the jack to prevent damaging the front crossmember's finish. Hockeypuck or piece of wood works fine. I put the front jackstands on the framerail about lined up with the catalytic converter and have no problems. On the rear, lift it up by the rear diff. You can place the jackstands on the LCA right where the lower spring perches are if you're not taking apart the suspension. I actually use the stock pinch rails slightly forward of the oem jackpoint with Harbor Freight jackstands and their red jackstand pads. They can be carefully lined up longitudinally without damaging the rails if the vehicle is slowly lowered onto the stands. Hope this helps.
