check out ranger quick jack, just got mine the other day and works great. ill do a review with pics when i get a day off but it slides under mine and im on swifts. its more expensive than just a jack but makes life wayyyy easier

I use my ramps then roll the jack in. Jack it high enough to put your stands in and slide the ramps out.

That's pretty typical of Harbor Freight. Don't know why, but they have multiple numbers on a lot of their items.

yep, that's wat most people do. they even sell those short height ramps just for this purpose.

:iagree:

:iagree:

Hey is the harbor freight jack normally hard to pump up when it's lifting a car? I feel like I have to put a lot of effort in each pump I don't think it feels right

Not really. Any fluid leaking out?

Compared to a normal sized floor jack, I do feel it requires a good bit more effort.

Once I lowered on swifts, it was a nightmare. Barely squeezed my HF jack in the rear. Then had to screw around on all sides to get the front up. Even worse when I only had 2 stands with me.

I bought these since I'm not paying $300+ for race ramps and extensions.

They barely fit under the front chin and give just enough coverage to get my normal hydraulic jack completely under the front of the car to the nipple. If you are lower than just adding swifts, raceramps will be the way to go.

Jack the sucker up and I use 2 notches roughly on the stands. Anything higher and I start to question if the $90 special from HF will hold up hahahahahaha.

I am part of the ramps and jack group...most of the time all you need are the ramps unless you doing brakes or need to remove tires...etc.

I have this: https://www.harborfreight.com/2-ton-...ump-68050.html

It wont reach in the front...fo sure...

Got the same ramps and jack and follow the same process... good to know that it will still work when I finally get around to putting my swifts on.

It barely clears the little mud flaps on the front so it easily clears the front chin spoiler. You'll be safe once you lower. Just have to have the jack handle almost parallel to the ground otherwise you'll scrape up the bumper. I'll see if i have photos somewhere of it on the ramps.

Or you could consider dropping some extra $ for a long term investment that makes your life easy.
