Thread: safe place - on TCI Frame (32 Ford) - to place a jack?

Tweet

Anyone using a TCI chassis on their 32? Where is a safe place to use a bottle jack, or floor jack? I used a bottle jack under the frame, near the front passenger side, by the motor, and it seemed to twist the frame alittle. My trunk lid started to rub after jacking up the rod. Of course, the frame went back to "normal" after lowering it back down, but it seems to really put a strain in the frame, when jacking up only one side. Is there designated place on the frame to use, to jack up the car?

I jack up framed cars at a point under front crossmember in the middle or under center carrier of rear end--that way the weight continues to be on the suspension or triangulated point so there isn't any undo twist
