any old ujack will do as long as its capacity is higher than a ton. You
don't need a central jacking point, as, when you jack the car up high
enough, it'll come off the ground with bothe wheels anyway. Don't even dream
of using the diff as a jacking point. (my 2p, DON'T anybody dare to start
that thread again!)
Use the chassis rails as liting points, always use a piece of wood on the
jacking point and always use axle stands when working under the car.
