What are "pick up points"

[yippeekyaa]

I hear this term used from time to time on 128 when they are talking about the chassis. I'm clueless as to what they are talking about. Someone educate this poor ignorant but not stupid tequila drinking fan please.

Are they referring to the spots where they place the jack to raise the vehicle?

It's the system women use in bars.

I dont have a clue what they are talking about, it's why i asked the question. But some context may help. today i heard the statement, "the chassis uses different pick up points". Might as well call them kanippling pins for all im concerned. I'm still clueless.

kanippling pins

Those are really only used in cities like San Fran and New Orleans.

Quickly and easily put, 'pick-up points' are the points on the chassis where the suspension parts ( "A" frames and trailing arms etc.) attach to, and pivot on, the frame.
