I am getting ready to install a set of J&M LCAs, Adj. pan hard bar and Adj. UCA. I have access to and intent to use a 4-point lift. The problem is, I normally lift from the bracket that the forward end where the LCA attaches to the car. So, my question(s) is/are:

1. Is there another equally functional and safe place to lift the rear of the car from?

2. If not, do you think that the lift would interfere with the install?

Any and all input would be helpful.

Here is a pic of where I normally lift from:

yeah about 1' up from the rear tire right near the gas tank on the passanger side there is a nice flat spot on the frame.. that should work?? i'm sure i dont have to tell you to adjust your fronts back to balance the car correctly though!!

I tried that location once before, but I worry that the brake lines on the driver's side will be crushed by the lifting pad. They extend down past the frame rail and the lift that I have access to has a 4"x6" lifting pad and no small pedestal mount that seems to work.

the actual designated lift point is the small vertical lip at the bottom of the rocker panel
FYI: on-line fully browseable Service Manual - Ford Mustang Forums
I don't know if the link will work but give it a try

According to that manual, the jacking and lift points are the same. Good to know.
