Frame behind rear axle
There seems to be a solid fram behind the axle, the bumper support bolts to it, is that safe to put jack stand on? Im just wondering, i usually put the JS on the frame right before the LCA's.
Thanks

I attached a custom-fabricated trailer hitch to them, and then towed a 6500 pound camper trailer, with no problems. Plenty of strength.

Re: Frame behind rear axle
My point is that if I couldn't make it buckle that way, then there's no chance of it buckling from jackstands.

Re: Frame behind rear axle
Why, didn't you ever want to haul anything? It was custom-fabricated specifically for my Camaro. No harm, no foul.
