Super Werty · 03-24-2015, 12:36 AM

yea I really do need some actually

So back to that picture.. those blue spots are safe jacking points?

I had the end of the scissor jack where you hand crank it cut off and a lugnut welded in its place and use my electric impact to raise and lower the car, and it doubles as a jackstand. Just bought 3 more jacks from Z1 and had them do the same to them, so I now have a set of 4 and can easily jack the car, even while its on my trailer.

kenchan · 03-28-2015, 10:10 PM

those scissors jacks are pretty unstable..

Mike · 03-29-2015, 09:16 PM

stable enough for anything I'm gonna do at the track, which is just brake pads and tires

That is brilliant! Can you please post a picture how the jacks look like welded?

Mike · 03-30-2015, 07:32 PM

sure, they are sending my other ones, should be here tomorrow or the next day. My original is in my trailer at the storage lot.

Yeah, If I was going under I would use jackstands in addition to these.

kenchan · 04-01-2015, 03:29 PM

they should make all scissors jacks like that. that hook attachment to the junk wrench they give you to turn the thing is annoying.

I set jack stands as backup even with most ramps
