Default Do i need jackstand for front also?

Hi, im dropped with GF-210 @ 1.0" front and also have a ings lx lip. I was wondering, is it ok to have jack stands just for the rears, or do i also need front jack stands so the lifting of the rear wont scrape my front lip?


Thx.

You would have to lift the rear a good 3 feet before the front lip will hit. I'm going to say you will be fine.

It also depends on WHAT kind of work you're doing on the Z.

If the front lip does'nt touch the ground when lifting the rear of the car, with the front tires on the ground, you would not need to lift the front of the car to put stands under the front of the car. Which ever end of the car is raised to work under, always use jack stands. Be safe, live long, be happy!

Gonna be doing some camber kit installation in the rear. So i should be good to go with just 2 jackstands in the rear right? What do you guys think about the Craftsman 3 ton jack stands from sears:

Those jackstands should be fine (overkill even). But make sure to jack on a paved, even surface and place the jacks correctly to support the rear.
