basically so i can use any point on the sfc as a jacking point. im not sure if that can be done with tubular. btw, i know about your weld-in, boxed sfc's....im going that route unless i can score a set of cheap, used SLP bolt in ones

You can use our tubular design as jacking points in any area... that won't be a concern at all. And the tubular set-up tuck up better and are less noticeable.

If I can help anymore please ask. Thank you!

thats why i want boxed. im sure you can jack from tubulars, but boxed is just more safer. Ill sacrifice ground clearance for safety any day.

Hello
I can see where you are coming from but we take a small piece of wood 2x4 or even ply wood (something so you don't mess up the powder coating) and as long as the pad on your floor jack is big you shouldn't have any issues as long as the jack is place properly under the vehicle. If you have any other questions or concerns feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help.
Thanks
Brad

sorry to threadjack but maybe itll help the OP too. id like to go three point kinda for more rigidity and isnt that a better setup if you are going to relocate the torque arm? would the following work well together and clear the exhaust? i have QTP Lt's, TSP ory, into magnaflow catback.

Like Brad had mentioned if you are careful they work fine, I like to use a piece of rubber on the jack. I was referencing the SFC's being strong enough for jacking points also, many people have thought the tubing would bend and this is not the case.
