I like that, but I cant justify buying myself a new jack when I already have the wood cut

I like using a 2x6 also to go on top of the jack pad.

You should have a pretty stout drive train with that tranny. I presume RPM hooked up with a compatible differential too

All the internals did come from RPM. It was assembled in Toronto though. It was owned by Rob from Champion Motors.

Yeah, Rob has that quick TT Z06. Should work well for you.

I bought an AFF 200T this past summer: American Forge & Foundry, low profile, 2 7/8ths floor to top of rubber pad. Weighs about 98 lbs, but very sturdy, works perfect with the hockey pucks, just slides right under. By the way, with the exception of two American companies (and I can't remember them off hand now), all floor jacks are now made in China.
