The two frame rails come pretty close together at the T-shirt area so you
can lift there setting the jack under one of the rails. But that is a little
bit unstable. I use a 2X4 to span the gap and up it goes. But with the
jack lifting from the side the car wants to move sideways on the front stands
so I lift in stages and square things up once it is up.
