Your best bet is probably to raise it one side at a time using the jacking points. You should use two pairs of jack stands: one in front of the jacking point and one behind on each side. Not too close to the point, though. Don't want it to tip! Maybe find a friend who has a pair you can borrow to go along with your pair. You don't want to be under anything that's being held up only by the jack.

Hi gang,

I recently picked up a 2-ton floor jack and jacks stands. Where are the best places to put the jack and then the stand for raising both the fron and the back of my 84 Westy???

Thanks, Doug
