1st gen ls400 on a lift? lift points?
well i need to put my 93 ls on a friends lift to change the rack and fix the exhaust. however im not sure where to lift from with the rear 2 arms of the lift. in the front you can see the frame rails eaisly. on the rear, i have no idea where to put the lift arms. not even sure where to place a standard hydraulic jack. dont want to use the factory jack for everything after all. anyone got pics of where to stick the mounting pads at under the car so i can put it on the lift?

if you use those (^) points on a lift you better have your affairs in order.
proper lifting on a 2 post is on the "frame rail" as close to the front and rear tire as you can get. i've lifted off the pinch welds as well but they like to bend.

friday night got the car on the lift. i used my grinder to cut some 3/8ths in wide groves in some pieces of 2x4 and put them on the lift pads in the rear and used the stock jack lift points. worked out pretty good.

Just kick the lift arm under there, it will eventually grab onto something... The lift should have rubber pads in the lift arm, if not blocks of wood work, but who cars with 4 lift points, you won't bend the pinch weld on a lift, or shouldn't at least. Time is money, and the longer you take to put it in the air, the less money you can make. Oh, you want to lift the front after the wheel, in between the driver and wheel, and in the back, lift right in front of the rear wheels, you will see a little place to stick the lift arm.

Now there's a brilliant comment....

If your going to notch some wood. Consider using some oak. It's the most durable and less likely to split or let you down. It's the most common donnage for supporting heavy loads.
