It’s the same problem for many vehicles that don’t have a separate chassis, hence safe jack created the RennStand https://safejacks.com/products/the-rennsta...ingle-unit. A bit pricey to say the least, but cheaper in the USA than UK. Hence many people identify a different place to Jack from stand placement as you are trying to do. However these are an elegant solution if they are sufficiently high for a new defender.

I looked at those a while ago.
This is a long video but if you skip through to the salient points, the overall stability was a little worrying. There may be issues with interference with mudflaps also. The whole mechanics /physics of jacking, where the jacking point seems to describe an arc rather than a straight vertical lift means trying to lift all 4 corners becomes problematic. The real question is why and what are you trying to achieve? Remove one wheel at a time for most maintenance activities and if you need to lift an axle set, jacking a front wheel will usually lift the rear almost in concert and a standard stand can be placed before repeating on the opposite side. |

When I replaced the OEM All Seasontyres with the Duratracs the tyre fitter did the job on my drive using this compressed air jack. As he came with a mobile workshop complete with all the usual gear that a tyre shop would have the size of the jack wasn’t a problem

I just recently painted my brake calipers and I couldn't figure out how to get all four corners off the ground at the same time. I had to do one side at a time which is not recommended...it's better to do it with all 4 wheels off. I used a floor jack for the front jack point and the included scissor jack for the rear jack point.

Tip. Buy some ice hockey pucks to use as a pad on your jack. For other vehicles with Pinch Weld Sill Jacking Points
I have cut a slot across them .You can get the pucks online cheaply. |

Yes, I have tested the puck with my floor jack...if that's what you're referring to. It works great.

I realized this is an old thread.
But I think I can make a clear answer to this question, which, as time goes, could be asked by many owner who might want to jack up their L663 for many reasons. There are total 8 supporting points under the vehicle, essentially 2 at each "corner". You can use the one under door sill to jack it up and use the other one nearby to put your jack stand. Details of the location are available from this link https://www.lrdefender.org/preliminary_advice_jacking-332.html Also, I try to post the screen shot showing these 8 locations. |
