I'm just curious if anyone has an opinion on jacking up an F-Body by placing the jack under a properly installed "Hidden Hitch?" If I remember right, it has 6 well secured mounting points in the rear of the car and doesn't budge a bit. I'm thinking that this would be safer than jacking from my differential (which is what I do now) for changing my rear wheels at autox events. It's also much easier to do since I can't get my jack to fit under my exhaust with out rolling the rear tires up onto some ghetto home made 2-3" ramps I have.
Yay or nay? |

I used to use mine primarily as a jacking point. Mine was bolted in with 6 bolts to the unibody/frame and was a solid, well built hitch. Only issue you'll have if you are just trying to swap tires is you'll need to jack the thing way way up to actually get the tires off. That rear end has a lot of travel and you don't have to worry about hat if you use the diff as the jacking point.
Obviously, whether using the diff or the hitch, block the front wheels, make sure you're on a flat surface.. etc. etc. the basics... |
