jack for lowered porsche

[SAM DACOSTA]

I just purchased a 2 ton, low profile, aluminum floor jack from Sears over the July 4th weekend. Reduced from $176, to $134. It works great. I had one from Harbor Frieght which worked but was cheaply built and I needed to replace it (heavy and rollers were not smooth).

Chris,
Not the best way, but this is what I do to avoid jacking up at the engine case. Drive the rear on 2 2x8 wood. Jack the car up at the rear banana arm, then place the jack stand at teh jack point side by side. I am thinking of getting a flat thick metal tub to act as a long arm to jack up both arms at once but not sure how to do this yet.
On the front, I jak it up at the front cross arm, after drive up on the 2x8 wood.

i Think the wood cheater is the key. Ive tried a couple different jacks with no luck. just an inch or two is all i need.

Cant wait to get under there and see what doing.

I got myself in a project screwing around with ventilation systems.

Thanks for all the advice. I promise to post a pick confirming I have reached level 1 in mechanics
