=>Well when I first got my rocco I knew that I needed to put the jack
=>stands under the circle mounting points by the wheel wells but didn't
=>know where to jack it up from, at first I just did it a little farther
=>back from the circles but this started to crush the underside of my
=>rocko (nothing visible from outside the car but annoying), I've found
=>that jacking it up where the front sway bar mounts works and leaves room
=>to get a jack stand under the circles.  As for the back I jack it up
=>righ in the center of the rear axel.  Then I put stands on both sides of
=>the axel, this has worked very well for me and hasn't damaged anything.
=>Somebody might say that I jack it up in stupid spots but I jack my car
=>up almost every Saturday and haven't had a problem for the last year
=>that I've been doing this.  I also wonder if jacking it up on the plate
=>that holds the rear mount would work so that you don't have to jack it
=>up on each side for the front???  Has anybody done this?

=>ok, i know i sound like a moron, but please bear with me.
=>
=>i've never actually jacked a car up to put up on axle stands and im not
=>really sure where the jacking points are on the roc.
=>
=>i only have a haynes manual...and well its not too specific.
=>
=>when looking under the car i see two spots where it looks to have been
=>jacked up before (scraped off undercoat, dents, scraped off paint) on
=>what appear to be  the frame rails. is this an ok place to  jack it up
=>from? (if not, too late, as it looks like its been done)
=>
=>also, if i use the trolley jack on one side, prop it up on the stand,
=>and go around to the other side, isnt it really risky to have only one
=>side proped up? how should i do this?
=>

=>thanks,
