Also don't forget to undo the carreir from the torque arm. And when jacking don't jack up under the rear diff center cover. You can damage it and cause future problems. Jack underneath the springs or a s close as you can to them. So it might take a few minutes longer but it reduces stress on the diff.

 

I posted a link to a tutorial I found, a couple posts back, Is that what ya guys are reccomending and would the tutorial be a good way to change the transmission mount. After camaro69 talking about the car probably being up around ten Inches Im starting to think If thats even enough to change a transmission mount or for a person to be able to even move under ten Inches. I dont wanna buy a six ton set which Is double the price to get up to 21 Inches total so really like 15 Inches If I use camaro69 theory. Idk what to do.

 

If the taller stands fit your budget, then get them. It's easy to lower them shorter than you need, but you can't stretch the metal to make them taller if you need it.

 

Im not calling ya a lier but I dont get your theory.

If the axle was 6.5 off the ground and the Jack stands are 7, the car Is technically lifted 7 Inches off the ground but I only gained .5 Inches from how high the car originally was.

If the axle Is 6.5 Inches off the ground and the Jack stands are 16.5, the car Is 16.5 Inches off the ground, but I gained 10 Inches from what the car orignally was.

Either way how high the Jacking point Is wouldnt the car still be as high as the Jack stand Is, but I might only gain ten Inches from what the car was before It was lifted, wouldnt the car still be 16.5 off the ground.

 

With 16" stands the body of the car will be 16" off the ground but the tires will only be 10" of the ground. 16" is enough the remove the drive shaft and change the mount.

 

Oh thats what I said but camaro69 said either way, the body or the tires will be the same. I also though of obviously If the car was 6.5 and I had 6.5 Jack stands, yes the car wouldnt be raised. But If I had 7 Jack stands the car would be 7 off the ground, with camaro69 theory the car would only be .5 off the ground.

 

It's not a theory, it's math (addition and subtraction). I think you're getting confused between the terms of what's "off the ground", and how much the car is actually being "lifted". I think you're getting it, that in that second scenario the car would be 10" higher off the ground than how it started. The 16.5" would be your new "clearance" between the axle and ground, but you already had 6.5" clearance without the stand at all. Part of the lifting height of the stand gets wasted by how much space there is between the ground and the jacking point on the car. The lower the point you can find on the car, the higher you'll be able to support it.

 

I think I get what your saying so are you argreeing with If the car was 6.5 and I had 16.5 Jack stands, the car will gain ten Inches from Its starting height, but really the car Is still 16.5 Inches off the ground. But the car only did gain ten Inches from what It originally was, but really the Jack stand Is still lifting the car 16.5 Inches off the ground, no matter how high the Initial height was the car Is still being lifted off the ground 16.5 Inches even If It orinally was 15 Inches and I have 16.5 Jack stands, the car Is still being lifted 16.5 off the ground, even though really Its only .5 more than the car height originally was, either way the car Is lifted 16.5 Inches off the ground, If I have 21 Inch Jack stands, 16, 17, etc; regardless of the axle being 6.5 the car would still be 21 or 16 or 17 Inches off the ground, right or wrong.

 

The car would be "lifted" 10". You would have 16.5" of actual space to crawl under, because you already started with 6.5" of space. You using the term "lifted 16.5" is what's confusing things.
I think you got it now, I think.

 

Idk Its kinda confusing but what I was saying Is I might gain ten Inches from how high the car was at first. But the car would still be off the groun 16.5 Inches either way. The car would be In the air 16.5 Inches. I gained ten Inches from what the car was before. But still the car would be 16.5 Inches off the ground not ten Inches off the ground.
