I plan on supporting the front of the car with jack stands on the front frame rails. Should it be supported back by the torsion bar cross member? What is the best way/safest way to support the car and still give myself the room to do all of the work I need to do? Suggestions and comments from members who have done this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Burke

If you want to see how much your chassis flexes watch the bottom of the rockers while lowering the car onto the jackstands. A real eye opener.
