Liftbars

$225 paypalled and shipped in the lower 48 - this is a pretty big discount over $239 + $75 shipping new

Have used them a few times when my Boxster was still stock height, but not since I lowered my Boxster (it is kind of a hassle having to raise the back end a little first to get the lift bars to fit). I'm selling the Boxster (at some point) and my "new" Cayman is even lower than the Boxster, so time for these to go.

If you have a stock height Boxster, these are great.

If you have a ROW M030 Boxster, these probably fit without having to pull the back wheels over a 2x6, but I haven't tested.

If you are lower than ROW M030, unless your jack has a super low minimum height, you will need to lift the back end a little before using this. TBH it gets to be a hassle :)

Once you get the car on these, it is nice and high :) It is just important to do it in stages, and important that the jack is on level concrete and can roll freely, so it rolls under the car rather than pulling the car (and therefore pulling the liftbar)

Lift the car on one side and place the jack stands in their lowest position
Lift the car on the other side and place the jack stands in (or near) their lowest position
Go back to the first side and slightly rise (even if the other side is the same height already) and lower the car to settle that side
If you want to put it in the higher jack stand positions, go back to the other side and raise it, then come back to this side and raise it.

Use only 2 to 6 ton axle stands with pyramid style base*
Use on level, smooth, concrete; jack must roll in and out freely*
After reaching target height, lift opposite side again to settle stands

*NO ESCO stands, flat-top rubber or axle-type
*Use steel plate larger than jack on uneven surfaces
