Thanks

ghlkal,

Not on the bar itself, but on the bracket where it bolts to the frame and mounts the helm joint on the bar. So it os actually on the bracket. If I were back in Japan with my car I could show better pics of the mounting area, but it is perfect for the rubber block of the Quickjack. The photos I posted earlier are the best I have. It you see the bars installed by itself in photos, you can clearly see where to place your lift points.

Having said all that, after looking at the photos and depending on your lift, I would get that flat spot where the Jack stand is usually placed in the front, and on the rear in that pocket on chassis near the area right behind where the no flex bar mounts to.
I used to put my Jack stands in that slot on the frame.

HawaiiZR-1, for the QuickJack 5000TL do I need to purchase anything additional from QJ? I am ready to pull the trigger but want to get everything I need first go around. Thanks in advance.

I think you should be all set with just the 5000TL, but I might not be the best person to ask because I have the no-flex bars on my car with easy pick up points. I?m not sure how a stock car is lifted as far as pick up points with the QuickJack. I see they have new accessories like the pinch weld pucks. I used similar to lift my car with a floor floor Jack before I had my no flex bars added.

I just ordered a 5000TL after watching this guy use one for his C4...
