Default AA Frame rail installation

How do you jack the car? The hockey puck jack points are in the way and my drive on lift does not accomodate the installation. Please advise.

Thank you, :confused:

I ran my up on the Rhino ramps and the lifted the back end with a floor jack. That got me up high enough to be able to drill the holes for the frame rails. I know you know better but be sure to put jack stands under the back. I've worked around enough hydraulic equipment to know that hoses and seals can blow out at anytime, anywhere and at the worst possible time. :blueangel:
