Ditto to davidv and Rickdogg comments. The only way I can get my lowered ZR on any type of lift or get any type of stand under it is by first lifting under the pumpkin. I can't even get an alignment without going to a place w/ a traditional "pit". Regular places won't even try to put my car on the ramps even w/ 2x10's.

^ I don't think some of those are correct.. wrongly placed, and the material will cave in, even if it holds up.
