Installing !CAGS... where do I jack from?
I cannot get my floor jack up under the car enough to reach the jack points listed in the manual. Can I jack from the jacking point behind the front wheel, without a "jacking puck"? I do have a rubber padded jack plate, so marring is not an issue.
Is there any other place I can jack from, to get to the trans?
Any advice?

When I installed mine, I jacked from the rear on the crossmember and then rested the car on jackstands. Of course, I used wheel chocks up front.
Only took a few minutes total.

drive the car up onto some two by fours. this should raise the car up enough to get the jack under.
I would jack from the center of the rear cross member. Use jack stands at each end of the same cross member.
Slide in from the rear, next to the drivers rear wheel and you will be right where you need to be.

I made some ramps and did mine by crawling under from the back. Figured I needed them to change the oil anyway. Used some old 2X12's I had in the basement.
