Default jack/ramp preference to lift our Z's...

Hi! what method/type/brand/model of jacks/ramps do you use to lift up your Z? I am used to crawling under my 4x4 but need a jack low enough to use on the Z. She is ready for the Amsoil! -your preferences please.....?

I use my 12k Rhino Ramps if at all possible, unless I have to take the tires off, then I drive up on some 2x8 blocks and use a 3.5 ton trolley jack and stands.

Do these work on the G35 coupe as well? Where is the Jack Point on the car and where to put the stands?

aluminum jacks all suck. i went through 2 of them already. Now I use a big ol Craftsman 4 ton jack and happy as hell. still have to use a smaller jack for the front, for clearance, but i don't mind.
