Jack Stand Question

CBRich

I've got a low profile jack by Craftsman and the rear and sides are fine but the front is not even close.

Good to know, and looking at the pics of it on Sears' website, I thought what you posted...

So much for sub-$100 for a jack that would work - lol...

I'll use ramps. If I need to pull a wheel (brakes, etc) I can go up on the ramp, then use my jack to lift it off the ramp(s), yank the ramp(s), and put jackstands under it.

I just gotta buy some...


Anyone got the ramps from Griot's Garage?

I did, but haven't tried using the ramps with the 370Z yet (2K mileage). If your garage floor is painted, the ramps will slide unless you add a rubber mat under them.

Typically, in my 350Z I just reached back from the front of the car to r&r the oil filter, oil drain plug. I have floor jacks (3-ton) & floor creeper as well and have used them numeous times over the years; however, the height is limited to lying on you back.

I can't wait for my 4 car garage addition and my 2-post car lift to be finished!

I have a set of those. I'm not totally thrilled with them. The bump stops at the end are not big enough so it is possible to drive off the end of them (I think, haven't done it myself). And they are narrower than our tires, so lining them up is a bit of a chore single-handed.

Just my $.02
