I have used my emergency jack to lift the car and placed the stands somewhat behind where the emergency jack is, on a cross member where I saw that car was lifted from there before (black rubberish undercoating was chipped there on both sides). Don't know how you call that part of the car, but jack saddle fit perfectoly there. I got the jack stands from Sears for 15USD a pair, they rate 2-1/4 ton.

Any tips on proper use of jack stands? Is it Ok to still use my emergency jack to lift the car? I did see a small automotive jsck at Sears for about 15USD too, the end is round, where would that fit on the 240? Same place where I place the jack stand?

Thanks.
