3rd Gen. 2008+ Dodge Challenger Jacking Points

[@zakattk51]

I would buy lift pads for the pinch welds and those hockey puck pads that screw into the frame on the front,where you used the jack, and jack from the pinch welds and place jack stands where the black hockey pucks are on the rear and front (after install).

[@ronbo422]

I hate asphalt (it compresses slightly) because floor jacks won't roll on it very easily, especially with a load. I noticed that your jack wasn't rolling under the car, like it should, on the first rear lift. It was actually pulling the car to it, which is sketch factor 9.5!! With the fronts already on the stands, the car basically made a twisting motion, being pulled towards the drivers-side-rear. Afterwards, I would've gone back to the front, taken each side up just slightly and repositioned the stands...to alleviate any tension between the car and stands. Thanks for the video!!

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

I actually did have to do that. But really you shouldn’t have too. That driveway was sketch 19.5, hence the reason. If you can’t tell from the vid, its on a pretty nice slant. But truly, you shouldn’t have to adjust if you are on a nice sturdy flat surface. But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, work with what you got to work with!

[@dpenton]

Pro tip right there

[@cholosoy8511]

Thanks man. For some reason my charger doesn’t have that rubber thing for the jack in the back, but it has a big welded metal bar in front of the differential, so use that to lift the car.

[@elmarito007]

DO NOT USE THAT METAL BAR TO JACK THE CAR UP!!!! It is not connected to the metal frame of the car, so you are risking to damage something important like the differential. Use the knuckle that connects the rear wheels arms with the differential, it’s strong enough to hold the whole weight of the car.

[@TD2253]

Thanks for the very detailed tutorial on how and where to jack a Challenger. I need to install an after market exhaust system and I have to make sure I don't damage my under carriage or my car. 😁👍

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

I appreciate the comment, good luck!

[@captscat345]

Great how-to video! This was exactly what I needed to see for my challenger. Thanks for posting!

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

Appreciate the comment, glad it helped!

[@BMan100]

thank god I wasn't the only one looking for this, i'm about to bring up my challenger to change to winter tires and the Jack pads I bought won't fit into the pinch weld area. .. get to have fun tomorrow..

[@mikeprice8307]

They also have pinch weld adapters for your jackstand

[@Vengancejr]

Greetings to my fellow Delaware bro! Thanks for this video! I wasn't quite sure on whether the jacking points was at the weld or the frame for the front part! Thanks for clearing that up!

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

Whats up man! Thanks for the comment! 🤙🤙

[@gregwadsworth9331]

Awesome video bro. Most of us are familiar with working on our cars doing minor shtuff like changing a flat tire, draining the differential fluid, brakes, etc, but Many are not and don't have a hydraulic jack. Can you make a video using the jack that is provided by the manufacturer, along with the donut (spare) please? You don't need to include the jack stands. I'd make a video, but I'm disabled, but I know it really would be helpful to most people, especially to a woman who is independent and would like to conquer changing a flat, herself. Tks!

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

Appreciate the comment! I surely wouldn’t mind making a video like that…but this isn’t my vehicle…I just did some jobs to it and decided to make some videos where I could. When I get an opportunity to work on another Challenger I will definitely see if I can make a video like that 👍

[@kirkkoblect5915]

Thank god this is the best video by far .

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

Thank you!!!

[@187onYaAs]

i was jacking my car up where u have the jack stand at! i assumed those lil dents on the skirt was a signal lol

[@JoeMama-ld6hs]

Thanks brotha, appreciate you taking the time to make this video.

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

Appreciate the comment 🙏🙏

[@newfie-dean5803]

You should put a cloth on top of the Jack stand too to protect the pinch weld too.

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

I’m not opposed to that, and if it makes you feel better, then go for it…I’m all for it. But personally, I’ve never really found a need to in many years of jacking vehicles. The pressure and force is coming from the floor-jack itself, and the jack is what could potentially slip/move and cause scratching, etc. that’s what needs to be protected and why I utilize a microfiber/protection on the jack itself. I barely leave a half-inch between the jack stand and pinch weld when lower the car onto the stand, as you can see @ 2:11 in the video, so the chances of any damage are extremely minimal. One of these days if I’m not to cheap or lazy I might just buy the rubber covers for the stands which I think look legit I’m just cheap and really haven’t found a need for them.

[@richardgeer4725]

Great video man, digging the fins under the back.

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

🙏🙏🙏

[@ArlissJohnson]

TheOriginalBeeCee, thanks for the video now I know what to do.

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

Glad I could help! Appreciate the comment

[@bradleycox91]

Excellent video! Just what I was looking for

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

Bradley Cox awesome man! Glad it helped 👍

[@equalizer2233]

Like you stated, that rear jack point wont work for most people due to most floor jacks not being that narrow. No room to get the jackstand in the correct spot.

[@ironmaven1760]

that " donut cylinder" holds up a flap there about 12 x 5...how do I know? I ran over a curb and sheared it off, causing that rubber flap piece to drop down!😅 So yes. its very crushable..be careful lol....Btw if anyone knows the proper name for that piece I'd like to know. Great vid..we had to jack up my Chally to install caliper covers....

[@samhuntsman5067]

I thought the jack stands go where you lifted the car up on that triangle?

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

I mean you could put a stand there if needed. But the pinch weld on the rail isn’t really ideal for a garage floor jack. The rail is more design for a jack stand, whereas you have a better floor jack point at the triangle/oval behind the rail. Unless you have a floor jack adapter for the rail, a big circular plate of a floor jack could potentially damage the rail if you wanted to do this opposite way that i did. As long as you have a slim profile jack, this is definitely the easiest and most efficient way to get it on jack stands.

[@gregwadsworth9331]

The pinch weld is for the average consumer, to use the jack provided by the manufacturer, to change a flat, to put on their spare.

[@bugs7253]

I’ve jacked the front of my challenger a few times, but once or twice I’ve notice that after one jackstand is in place and I’m jacking the other side, the set Jack starts to tilt inward. Any advice?

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

Chris Shannon hey whats up man. Just for reference, this isn’t my car. But I’ve had it jacked up at least 5-7 times, and I actually had that issue once when jacking this car. I just let the jack back down, and went back to the other side and readjusted the side that was titling, and it was fine when I went back to the other side again and started jacking. But the last time I jacked the car up though I actually had 2 low-pro jacks, I had one on each side, and you can almost simultaneously jack each side bouncing back and forth, and it was perfect when I did that.

[@dpenton]

Thanks for the walk through

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@VsarahTopNotch]

Maybe even bigger and heavy weight that isn't Small frame. Thank you please keep teaching

[@zappyxp1575]

Nice video man. You saved me from buying those damn magpads lol

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

Lol glad it helped man 🙏

[@philippluklas]

I’ve seen a lot of posts from people freaking out about damaging the pinch welds this way, but I don’t see any alternative with the jacks I have. Have yours held up jacking the car many times this way?

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

This actually is not my vehicle. But i did a few jobs on it and had it in the air multiple times. Ive also jacked a Scat Pack. Never had any issues. The only potential issue I saw is what I noted in the video, which is that donut cylinder. That thing definitely seems like it can be suspect, but as far as the pinch welds they worked perfectly for me.

[@janmichaelaustria620]

[@sebastianrc5024]

Man, this Challenger looks exactly the same as the one I bought over a month ago. Did I end up buying this one? LOL. Did you bring this one from NJ down to VA?

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

Haha idk! Its not my car. I did a air suspension install on this car and did a few videos with it including this one. The car was in Delaware in 2020 when I did it. We both moved shortly after and I never heard of anything from the owner/car again. So if its bagged, it might just be it!

[@Jelleydev]

Rip to the extra slow people tryna take to back down

[@nostalgicshark3]

Wondering I have seen people do the opposite of what you have done jacked it up we’re your stands are at and put stands we’re you jacked it up was wondering does it matter our which way is by the manual thanks for your time

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

Nostalgic Shark3 hey whats up man. You could get away with doing it the opposite way. Although, in my opinion I believe the rails design is a better fit for the stands. I would also be careful jacking from the rails with an actual garage floor jack. But it could definitely work done correctly.

[@nostalgicshark3]

BeeCee Built I appreciate your time

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

Nostalgic Shark3 not a problem 👊🏼

[@roccobattaglia6321]

I'm glad the I'm not the only one seeing what you just stated. That's the point of the hockey puck accessory with the groove in it. To jack it up using the pinch weld and the grooved accessory . To me this video makes absolutely no sense. Thought it was just me.

[@Unknown-qu9hx]

How high is that lifted?

[@darkNovaskar]

What weight capacity is each of your jack stands? I have 3ton jack stands and they are to high even at the lowest level.

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

Yea they are probably more geared for truck/SUV application. I utilize 2-Ton Duralast jacks for cars.

[@dsmtim9529]

What brand rear diffuser are you rocking? Looks very menacing🔥

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

Allstar 3114 hey whats up man. Actually its a friend of mies car, not mine...so I’m not to sure!

Lol whatever works!

[@mariolorenzo563]

Thanks for the video!

[@michaelt2071]

I cannot even slide my hydrologic Jack under my scatpack. Need to buy wood to raise it up at least 1 inch to slide my Jack under.

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

Yea, I lived the wood days for a while on prior cars with coils, and just working on different low cars. There are some pretty nice low pro jacks out there now, I got one not too long ago that I can get under mostly everything.

[@michaelt2071]

@@TheOriginalBeeCee I also made a wood ramp before coz I cannot afford to buy a jack. The only thing is they freaking heavy every time you move them.

[@JimVaught-qm6gf]

Even my R/T I had to cut up a 2x12 and make some ramps to change the oil. They’re about 5” tall... good enough for an oil change but still can’t get under it for anything else 😂

[@JimVaught-qm6gf]

Had to make the bottom piece longer and bevel the ends with a circular saw... even then they tend to slide on a smooth floor trying to drive up on them. They don’t move on the rougher concrete of the driveway

[@kelvinbrown4274]

That won't work on a hellcat, it's too low. You need a special jack or jack it up back first. Also, it may just be me but I really don't like jacking up one side at a time as opposed to rear to front.

[@TheOriginalBeeCee]

Unfortunately, I’ve never had the pleasure of jacking a Hellcat. Although, you could definitely roll over some boards to give you the clearance you need. I work on a lot of lowered cars and thats how I gain easy access on one to jack. And I agree, I don’t typically just jack one side up at a time, hence why I jacked the front up first, then the rear of the car, in the video.

[@proclick2204]

Thank you very very much bro .
