I use a standard floor jack on the "frame rails" near the front where they are reinforced, and in the middle of the axle at the rear.

So if a non-SS owner can take a measurement from the rear wheel well forward for the rear jack location and from the front wheel well back to the front jack location and let us know the measurements, this would solve all discussions.
Ok RBodeman- just measured from my 08 2LT

FRONT: fender edge to jacking point arrow is 7-1/4 inches away..

REAR: fender edge to jacking point arrow is 3 inches away..

This is certainly not the best situation for someone who gets a flat especially while on the road, in the rain, in the dark. They sure didn't make it easy on us SS owners. Not to mention if you get a flat in the front and have to move the rear to the front before installing the spare in the rear. Maybe I should just get a can of fix-a-flat.

Yea, but 'fix-a-flat' will screw up the TPM sensors in the wheels..

You should post up your question in the correct forum section. This is the SS forum section, so not many LS owners are here.
