"jack in another key location"

Doesn't exactly say in the same spot now does it?

For us with lowered vechiles, I have to raise my vehicle up enough with the scissors jack at that spot, then I get my other jack out and raise at another point, usually the suspension crossmember. Then I put the stand under it, and find another spot for the jack depending on which side, if not both i'm working on. For safetly, not for the savior of door/panels. I rather wreck the door, then have the car fall on me, even though I'm not even using what you described.
