    Quick Jack placement

    Just got the body on, and one of the first things I notice is that the quick jacks, both front and back, seem to stick out farther than needed, and farther than I would like. I'm now thinking of moving them in towards the body about an inch (both front and rear.) What say all of you? If you got pictures, post 'em up.

    Yes I moved mine in quite a bit. Looked they were hanging way out before.

    I usually tuck them in tighter on the cars I do (or, in the case of my own car eliminate them altogether).

    On the 289 they are shown to be flipped around, the jack curve faces toward the body, shortening them up instantly.

    Took an inch off the fronts, and 5/8" off the rears. Looks much better.
