I am changing out the pads/rotors tomorrow and want to know if its possible to lift the entire front from a given point and also the rear. If I jack from the pinch welds on the side then where would I place the jack stands. I am only doing one end at a time. I borrowed my brothers mammoth jack, which should only take 2 pumps and it will be high enough.
Brake Time, where to jack from?

i played with my new jack today and took off my brakes for the hype :P. front jack point is in the middle of the two plastic under covers. Has a hole and a X like pattern there. jack it up there then put the stands on the pinch welds. Rear i used the rear dif. Btw i couldn;t get the bolt off the part that holds the disc brake in :S. probally need a breaker bar / hammer for it.
face the front grill, now go down and continue until you see a recrangular opening right under the engine. This will lift the front two tires off the ground, now insert to jack stands on front two pinch welds or frame which is next to the y pipe.
Rears, Face the booty, go down find the pumpkin or differential jak it up, place 2 jack stands under the pinch welds

I believe this question was asked maybe 3 days ago.
