[Shotimes] jacking points

The normal jack point for the rear is just foreword of the rear wheels.

You will need a combination of a hydraulic chassis jack and a set of jack
stands, along with some thick lumber.  The rear needs to be quite high
inorder to feed the pipes over the rear suspension.  When I did this last
winter, I must have had the rear 3' + off of the ground.

This is a rather hard job in your driveway, but rather easy on a lift.  My
trouble is that no shop with a lift around here will install your parts...
