Mods, I apologize because I wasn't sure where to post this..

2 1/4 ton hydraulic jack and two 2 1/4 jack stands for $27.49. I just bought a set for my Z this weekend. They extended the sale until Tomorrow so I thought I'd let everyone know to pick one up before it's over.

And NO I do not work for them.

 

The biggest problem with those cheap jacks is that there's no way you can fit them under the car. That one has a 5-1/2" minimum lift height, I bought this one:

It has a 3-3/4" lift height and I still have trouble getting it under the front to get to the lift pad. I have to drive the car up on a 2X8 to be able to fit the "low profile" jack under it.

 

Harbor Freight!

They have good deals on torque wrenches too.

 

I concur. They have great deals on jacks and stands. I got an awesome 2.5 ton jack for like $40.00.

 

i bought my 2.5 ton aluminum low profile jack from Big Lot last month for 59$.
yeah....... i've had my harbor freight torque wrench for 5 years and it's fantastic.

 

When working underneath the Z. One jack or two to lift the car for an oil Change? Not a fan of ramps, and looking for a race jack and probablly gonna use carpet or another type of cushion material not to mark up the frame.

i got a decent deal on jackstands at sears. craftsman jack stands for ~17.00 a pair.

get a good hydraulic floor jack. any good name will do.

 

Yeah, Harbor Freight has a nice aluminum low profile floor jack I've had my eye on for a while now. It's $180.

They also have a good selection of jackstands, too.

i got that US general jack for $119 on sale (silver one).

its awesome.. light weight and works great.

might i suggest the Takara Down-Low Service to two pieces of wood if ur super low to get the jack to fit under the car!

 

I have a cheap sears jack that works just fine. I don't think any low profile jack will work for my car though. I use 2x10 boards to pull up on so I can get the jack under the skirts.

 

Ditto here...

 

I'm also a big fan of ramps...

 

Is a jack rated for 3000 lbs sufficient? How about the floor jack from gi joes?

 

you're not lifting the entire car, just part of it.
3000 is more than enough to raise the front or the rear up to change a tire.
