Default Jack up car with BMR boxed SFC's
Can you use the BMR boxed SFC to jack up the car NASCAR style?

I would highly recommend not doing that. Other than the fact that you'll probably bend them, the jack my slip off the sfc. There are alot better places to jack up your car than the sfc's man.

On my SLP's, the jack fits perfectly on the subframe so I can jack it up NASCAR style; the jack has a circle with 4 slits, and the subframe fits right in the slit, no worries of slipping off. FWIW.

I was just wondering because a few diamond shape brands say they provide continuous jacking points. Is this just for the diamond shape ones then?

Mine are tubular and if you ask me that's what they are for four feet of jacking points.
