has anyone raised the front of LC using jack under the circular jack point under motor high enough to slip jackstands under the front side rail locations. Any tips?

 

Yes. The exact spot to use is indicated in the manual. It's just in front of the oil pan. Before I lowered my car this is how I raised it every time.

You can do the same in the rear using the spot right by the rear diff.

 

My cars sit too low so I first have to jack from the side rails to get the jack under the center jack point.

My preferred method, when I'm working under the car.

 

how do U get it up onto blocks, what is the progression of jacking it up.

 

I use a smaller jack to lift the car at the side rail, enough to get my low-profile, long reach jack under the center jacking point. It can jack to a height of 24". This is plenty high to lift both wheels enough to get the wood cribs underneath. Then I just slide the low-profile jack under the rear differential, and lift.


I use this jacking pad for Tesla's that I got off Amazon, in a piece of wood placed on the jack to lift the differential.

 

Yes, you can do that. The circular pad is the central front jack point.

Jack it up there just high enough to get your jack stands under the solid, flat sections of the front frame rails. Then carefully lower the vehicle onto the stands. Always give the car a good shake to make sure it's stable before going under.
