I jacked mine up on the stock location, put a jackstand there at the lowest setting, then go the rest of the way on the K member in the front. I use the rear if im doing work on the back.

BTW, my drivers side door now makes a snap on the front fender since i used the stock location. No that severe, but any way to fix it???

Home made wood boosters + 10" Sears ramps.

Once the tire is up on the stand part, the ramps can be totally removed, making it very easy to work from the side. Just about wide enough for 275's... a little too small for backing it on with the 315's, or slicks....

for those of u guys who are talkin about using blocks of wood in front ramps for clearance problems, u can buy pre-ramps too. i see em for sale near me for $25 all the time.
i know wood is either cleaper or costs nothing at all, but i found that it wanted to keep sliding out from underneath when tryin to pull up

Wow... thanks for all the replies!

Xride: I thought it was 152 made for Canada.. but I read 147.. guess I confused them or something.. gunna change that, thanks!

As for the wood blocks.. that's an awesome idea.. thanks! I just want to get it high enough to jack it from the K-Member as someone said already I think.. so I don't need those super long ones that the mustang site has. Thanks again!
