how do you jack your evo up?
ive had my evo up time and time again and i think everytime i jack it up differently. when i first got it i tried what i thought would be a frame rail under the black **** and it made a few cracking noises so i backed off so i started doing it one wheel at a time by the suspension usually where it bolts to the frame and thats a pain in the ***. today i was in a hurry and just jack on what i thought was frame rails and it just put a dent on both sides but where does everyone do theirs ???

Beyond the lip of the skirts you will see the frame rail. On the rail, behind each tire you should have two notches in the rail itself. This is where you make sure that the jack meets the portion that will be lifted. From there you are good to go. Make sure that the brake is set and jack away. If you're changing the oil or working under the car, I recommend some jack stands to safely secure the car in place. I hope this helps. It's too cold outside and I'm too lazy right now to provide pics...

I said the same thing a while back, but instead i decided to look in the manual first.
