Hi,



Is there a single point to jack up the rear of the car from the rear?

the jack that comes with the car isn't designed to do this.

however, if you have a nice hydrolic jack then you should be able to lift it up where the rear a arms connect, but becarefull and make sure you don't pinch anything between the jack and the frame. it may not be the most wonderful place to do it, but it would work

indeed. I have a 3 ton hydraulic jack, which should give me little difficulty in raising the rear. however it has roughly a 6 inch pad on it.

would that be too wide to place on the rear bracket that supports those a arms?

it looks, on mine, like there should be room enough for that. with the way the rear susp. is designed should allow you to get it on the fram with out touching the rear susp. parts that need to be left alone. if you look under the back, right in line with the rear wheels, there is a section of the frame that curves down right in the center. that area should be big enough for the jack. just when you go to do it watch as the jack gets close and if it looks like there could be a prob then don't, but from what i can tell it should be fine.
