jacking points
I own a 2004 accent 1.6L. I just switched over my winter tires to my summer. My pinch welds on the rockers are rusted and don't really trust them. But had to take a chance today. I know when jacking the front of the car you can use any of the 3 tow hooks or the black frame around the engine. But when jacking the rear what can you jack from to lift the car so both wheels are off the ground? I am using a 2 ton. I got a tow hook under the spare wheel cavity. But my 2 ton reaches its max before the tires get off the ground. I tried the black rectangular box b/w the axles. But it kept shifting and wasn't sure about it. Are there any others? Or do I need a big floor jack?
Thanks
Thanks

safest thing to do would be to just jack up one tire at a time using the factory jacking points even if their rusted I would expect they would hold

Use a piece of 2x4 or 4x4 if you jack doesn't go high enough. And use jack stands

ive lifted mine MANY times using the point where the control arm mounts to the vehicle
if the frame there is strong enough to support the weight of the entire car, im pretty sure it can be lifted from there
