That link will get you what you need.

just don't let them do this...

 

Frame rails are pretty much the only place to lift on a third gen with a shop lift.

 

This. Don't lift it on the pinch welds.

 

i think the k frame is a little weak we put on axel stands and it was creaking and groning so we put a third stand on the cross member for extra support i am just concerned about the shop lift going threw the frame and totaling the car is any way i can minimize the risk or can strenthen. it is mainly at the front. thanks

 

Best way to lift it to do any welding is on a drive on lift so that the unibody doesn't twist or distort in any way for the new pieces to be fitted properly.

 

The frame rails are by far the strongest point. If you can't lift there, you need a new body.
The k member is a strong point too, but hard to reach with a shop lift.

 

were are the frame rails and k frame just to be clear at the moment i am jacking up on the a frame on the suspension spring with a trolley jack. but when goes for welding. When done it should be alright but just in case thanks

 

I welded some steel plate to the frame rails.


You can see here where previous jacking attempts had crushed the frame rail.

 

You just have to make sure the jack pad is big enough to span the rail. That kind of damage is caused by a bottle jack or similar with too small a lift point.
Shop lifts usually have large enough pads.
As said before, just make sure they don't lift by the pinch, because that's howit is generally done on Hondas,etc.
