Jacking car up.

Hi All

Haven't jacked the car up yet so looking for advice. For my other vehicles I have 3" hard rubber hockey pucks with a slot cut in which I then use to jack up at the sill. This stops the lip at the sill folding as it is in the slot. I then put axle stands in and lower onto the stands whilst keeping some weight on the 2 trolley jacks. This spreads the load a bit and gives extra protection against collapse.

I realise that the boxster has axle stand points front and rear. I have new (6t per axle) non folding type axle stands as recommended in the 101 projects book.

The jacking points shown in the 101 projects book are not too clear so is it feasible to jack the car up on the sills to leave the jacking points free for putting the axle stands in?

Cheers

Dave
