Yep, that's it. The car was in an accident and had some amateur body work done before I owned it (think fiberglass over holes) so I wanted to square it up. When I dropped the plumb lines and leveled it out it ended up that the body was mostly straight aside from one corner that is too high. So I made the "jackstands" in the back out of brake rotors and rectangular tubing at a fixed height (the proper height of the rear) and jacked the car DOWN on that corner to meet the right height. Then I can replace the panels around the bottle jack and work the stress out (I hope).
