I prefer the torsion bar housing when pulling engines and such. If you put them by the shocks, that is a sprung part of the suspension, and can possibly move.

This gives about the widest stance on the jack stands. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT (It drove) '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
