Jack & Jack Stand Placement 2004 XJ8
I am about to replace my air suspension with the Arnott C-2745 Coil over conversion kit and would like some help as to where to place the Jack for the front and rear and also where to place the jack stands to be safe! Any diagrams or pictures would be most welcome.

I found that the body was so rigid that lifting one corner slightly higher on the stand meant that the other side was unsupported by its stand. It was like that for a week, and didn't change at all. The X350 is a very tough body.

Great tip- I should have been using one on mine long ago. Will start doing so with my XJ that I haven't jacked yet! Just ordered one off Amazon as soon as I saw this. 'Inglasco Official Ice Hockey Puck Black 6 oz.' $7.49 USD.

Also I would avoid jacking the rear using the diff.
The jacking points indicated by Jaguar are well suited and accessible.

Let me share a caution while using some of the pucks…
I purchased the cheapest set I could find on amawho.com
they are solid but very hard (a good thing) however… I did not consider that made them a little smooth/slippery too.
First use on the quickjack and they slipped off of the other locator blocks.
‘luckily no damage but def a near miss experience.
In the future, I will use them but with more caution for now on.
