Jack Points

[Hogosha]

I have been to Harbor Freight about 3 times this week, I looked at the Jack crossbeam they have for $39.99 (remember to use your 20% off coupon!) I wonder with addition of hockey pucks, could you use this to jack up both sides, front or rear, at the same time?

I don't think it is wide enough, it only goes to 37 in

Esco jack stands have a flat top. I have had mine way up high on those and it's very stable....its the trip up thats dicey

Is it cool to leave my P-car up on jack stands say, all Chicago winter?

P.S. Those liftbars may just be the coolest thing I have ever seen.

There has been a lot of debate about that over the years (on rennlist, 928 forum where I mostly hang out). Many do, but the smart guys say put something under the wheels in order to keep the shocks from becoming fully unloaded, which is bad for the seals apparently. It makes sense to me.
I never put my cars off the ground for extended periods. I do overinflate the tires quite a bit to avoid flat spotting, however. A few months of sitting won't hurt anything imho.

Are the jack stands for a E36


THis is pure genius, they are keyed so they cannot rotate or twist

That's an old race car trick, the Trans-Am car I used to crew for had the same. The cars are too low to get a jack under.
