Floor Jack

axmea?

The HF low profile jack work from the front only with a low profile ramp. I jack the front about 4 - 5 notches high on my jack stands. To lift the rear, had to get to the pumpkin by driving the jack not from the rear but from the bottom center and started pumping from underneath.

how about rhino ramps..not high enough...use any floor jack once its up on ramps....just thinking out loud here

If you are not lowered, you can probably back onto Rhino ramps without scraping the front in order to work on exhaust. I'd have to try it to see if you can drive forward onto them OK, though. But you can't do both at once. Also, if you want to change wheels, work on brakes or suspension, or lift the car higher, you still need to jack the car and put it onto something. Hard to jack the car and put it on stands unless you can hoist from a location other than the authorized lift points and then install the jack stands on those. Sorry I'm not familiar enough with the Z to know if there is a central rear hoist point or can jack the entire side up, for instance.

Use the rear diff as the jack point.

I always jack from the pumpkin in the back. Nipple from the front.

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

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...

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.
