    Jackstands

    Where is a safe place to put jackstands under a Corolla? Normally I'd put them under the rocker panels where you would place the factory jack when changing tires, but since I have the side skirts for the body kit, that is no longer an option.

    I noticed that there are to ribs in the floorpan that run the length of the vehicle about a foot inside of the rockers. Would these ribs be a safe and sturdy place to put the stands?

    thx.

    on the side where you see to put the OEM jack ,,there is like a runner line .... but always remember after you put your car on jack stands shake it side to side to make sure of the sturdiness....:)

    The sideskirts cover the entire pinchweld? I usually put the jack stands anywhere on the pinchweld
