Trolley Jack question

MX52Z

Could be, plus the little chin spoiler on mine starts to hit the jack before I can get it all the way in.

I want ramps anyway because I don't always need to jack up my car and take the wheels off. Sometimes, just driving the front or rear up is faster and easier.

I got this jack with a coupon it was $60. the thing weighs a TON but has no problem lifting the Z and is low enough to reach the frame on the sides and the differential in the rear.

Make a 2x10 step ladder to roll up on like this one

I got this lift on sale for <$120: Arcan Quick Lift Professional Service Jack — 3 1/2-Ton, Model# XL35 | Floor Jacks| Northern Tool + Equipment

It is fairly low profile, has 3.5 Ton lifting capacity, and 21"+ maximum saddle height. I typically drive my passenger wheel up onto a 2x10 board to give me enough clearance to reach the front center jack point. At stock height the jack fits all the way under the car without touching the undershroud. However, my front chin spoiler gets in the way of the handle going up and makes the first part very inefficient as the strokes are very short until the car starts to lift. That minor issue along with the fact that the thing weighs nearly 100 lbs and leaves marks when I drag it around my painted garage floor are the only cons. Everything else is

BTW, For the HF jack owners (maybe everyone too), I spotted this new cross-beam attachment for our jacks. Floor Jack Cross Beam

I haven't checked it out in person yet nor measured it compared to the Z but it looks interesting.

I purchased the cross-beam. It doesn't work because the thickness of the beam and jack are way to high.

I ended up get the 2.5 T at HF. Minimum height is like 3"'s but works fine. Wanted the 2 T but they were out of stock. Ended up jacking one side at a time to install the spacers, but need to find to old posts that show the center jacking point for front and rear. Tend to agree with some of the other posts, going to need to drive up on a couple of 2X10's.

Thanks

Here's a link to the center jack points (front and rear). This thread has a lot of good info regarding jacking up the Z as well

Using Jack Stand...where to contact point?

Nice find. Looks like something only Jay Leno can afford to prop up his Duesenberg though. My budget is more Home Depot lumber style for now.

That Jackpoint jackstand is so clever. It is very expensive but a must for the enthusiast. My thing is this, how many times do you really lift your car to warrant such an expense?
As for the Harbor Freight jack wait 'til they get it back down to under $100 and get their 25% off coupon.
