i want to flip one of the leafs on my wagon but cant seem to find a suitable place to hold the car up with jack stands. the rail seems to be directly inline with the leafs

your jack stands should have a little cut out in the centre of the head where the sill is meant to sit

Jack up by the diff, put jack stands underneath front leaf mounts.

just crush sills? mine are all knackered lol.

with a stock bumper on you can actually get away with it. wouldnt recommend it though.
