anyone use this car jack?

kfull · 10-08-2012, 06:52 PM

would this:Floor Jack with Rapid Pump®, 2.5 Ton Heavy Duty Steel fit under the front and rear jack points? or do I have to get low profile? I have the sports package so I have the front chin spoiler. The minimum saddle height is essentially the same as the low profile ones but the jack itself bumps up a little higher in the back. This one is cheaper- only reason i'm asking.

I would recommend something better for the Z. The Z weighs more there for the rating should be higher. I don't trust that jack with my Z. This is the real deal Low Profile Floor Jack - 2 Ton, Rapid Pump® Jack

I've been using Low Profile 2 Ton mentioned above and love it. It can easily reach all the lifting points except the front-center point under the motor. Be warned though that this jack is heavy as hell since it's steel.

So do you just use a hockey puck for the side jack points to avoid bending the metal?

I actually lift further in on the "frame rails". I'm sure I could use the hockey puck method to use the outer lift points but that's extra work than I don't feel like doing. I typically lift from the rear or the front myself and almost never from the sides.
