You can get a flyer at the store entrance...

Hmm, they dont have it listed but it came up with a search for that part number. For $59 I"ll get one before they go off sale, looks like theres a store near me in Carrolton.
Have you had any problems out of it? I think I could use it without having to drive up on wooden blocks 1st. I lift mine pretty much the same way you do, ramps up front and jack stands in the rear.

I do have that jack from Harbor Freight, it was the first thing I went shopping for in my new Z, but I still couldn't reach the front lift spot the owner's manual says to get to. The jack was still too high. That's why I'll be using the blocks.

I used to have this one from HF but it started leaking in its second year so I went with the Arcan XL35 from Costco.



Costco also has better than 90 days warranty.

Yes, The Arcan XL35 is heavy, but it is a garage floor jack. No reason to pick it up.

These jacks seem to last 3 or so years before they start to leak. I use mine every couple weeks. If you use yours less they would likely last longer. You get what you pay for I guess, but they are low enough to get under my car.

for those wanting to build ramps i built these using the plans that mercurymike had out. they are easy to build and work great on lowered cars. http://www.tim-yvonne.com/mikemercury/ramp.htm

Get a couple low profile jacks too. You will need them ... trust me.
Harbor Frieght has some decent ones for $60 (see my 2x blue ones on the left of my pic).

Toque, I know this thread is about two years old but which version of the race ramps did you purchase? Also do you drag at all when pulling onto them?

Thanks

John:

Mine do not drag at all.
I think mine were 67"

Race Ramps has a BUNCH of newer designs for ramps now.
Compared to when I got mine I think they only had a few products.
Check there web site.

Let me know if you have any questions.
I can answer what I can.

Harbor Freight also just started selling the crossbar adapter that fits on your jack. Looks like it might have to be narrowed a little, but should be easier than stacking up 2X8s. Looks like this one:
2 Ton Capacity Cross Beam Adapter fits Floor Jack 4000 lb Extends 28" to 40" : Amazon.com : Automotive 2 Ton Capacity Cross Beam Adapter fits Floor Jack 4000 lb Extends 28" to 40" : Amazon.com : Automotive
