best floor jack for working on front and rear of 370z

gsxr750 · 10-28-2012, 01:55 AM

I just got done making the wooden ramps, from 2 x 10 planks, pretty simple and they work great, I can even slide my standard 3 ton craftsmen floor jack under the front cross member now and I may not even need the new low profile jack.

Ramps are made from 1 qty - 2 x 10 x 50" long with one beveled edge and 1 qty. 2 x 10 x 36" long with one beveled edge and 1 qty 2 x 10 x 4" wide piece as a wheel stopper.

Place 36 " plank on top of the 50" plank leaving 14 inches for the front wheel to engage the first level and place the 4" wide wheel stop at 36 inches from the start of the ramp, then simply screw everything together with 2 1/2 " wood screws.

Repeat the same steps for the second ramp and materials list.

Will post pics sunday.
