Yes, let the bastardizations begin, but I have a question where to place the floor jack when jacking up the front end of my 02 GT. I have to put the car on jackstands to put on my mils, but I've never had to use a floor jack before, so if somebody could quickly tell me where to place the jack so I can get this done, I would appreciate it, thanks.

Well I have found out "NOT TO" jack a car up by the oil pan "OR" the radiator support.

I always jacked it up right at the center nub of the K member (on my 95). never had any problems, and it makes it easy to evenly place both jack stands. if you don't like that then you can jack it up one side at a time by using the frame rail/uniframe joints behind each front wheel (but then it's hard to get the jack stand in square)
