You're right, read that wrong, but I don't use a jack on the pinch welds.

These phase2 adapters I was looking at look like they're only for lifts and jacks too. I was looking at aluminum jack stands that have the flat top, they look like they might work with frame adapters, but I'm not sure.
these are no different than what i posted. i dont want to buy more of the same stuff

That's from the s13 FSM, and it might be outdated. On the s14 FSM it says never to place stands on the side members.

yep, I was just implying they both don't look like they'll work well with jack stands, but might work with those aluminum race stands with the flat tops.

Thanks. Just out of curiosity, which craftsman stands do you have??




oh and the other day I found this on the interweb. This would be so clutch for 240s. I wonder what brand they are, been trying to find them.

Good ol' harbor freight has never steered me wrong.

Another thing to keep in mind, since bash bars of sorts aren't too uncommon nowadays, having a quick jacking point built in is always a good idea.

2 pumps under the license plate to change both rear tires at the track really is a time saver.

Harbor Freight 2-ton Steel low profile jack with super long reach. I can get to the front core support on my s13 that has aero and is tucking tire up front without removing the bumper.
NOT the aluminum jack! They should have a steel one that is way lower than their "Low Profile" aluminum jacks. Same grey one that Big Mike posted earlier. Actually looks exactly like that Michellin jack too.

Dang, looks like the closest thing to that jack is the Omega jack that someone already posted. The Omega jack actually is a little lower than the Ultra low Pittsburgh jack, to bad the price is way way more.

Those grey steal long reach low profile 2 ton floor jacks were replaced by the orange Daytona Long reach low profile floor jack.

[QUOTE=mau5trap;6317396]Those grey steal long reach low profile 2 ton floor jacks were replaced by the orange Daytona Long reach low profile floor jack.

But its 5/8" taller. The 2 ton was 2 5/8 min height where the Daytona is 3 1/4 min height. That might not be a big deal from some but others it might was well be a mile. The 3 ton long reach Pittsburgh is actually lower by an 1/8 inch than the Daytona and almost 100 dollars cheaper. Gktech ramps and the 3 ton long reach Pittsburgh jack are actually cheaper than the Daytona jack and about 25lbs less.

But thanks for posting, it allowed me to go back and dig a little deeper.

I’m not entirely sure for pristine ones, the previous owner of my car or some shop in the past lifted from this area before so mine are a little pushed down, it clears them how they currently are, and they haven’t degraded or anything in the past 9 years of ownership for me.

Yeah but, It's awesome being able to lift from the subrame and diff and just putting the jackstands in.

I don't see any harbor freight jack than goes under 3". The one that comes close is $189 and still is not low.

Lol, that's literally exactly the same as the grey Pittsburg jack that Harbor Freight now has apparently discontinued. The Daytona they have now doesn't even come close.

Is the Arcan XL2T the same as the Motomasters / Michelin ones from Canada?

https://www.amazon.com/Arcan-XL2T-Bl.../dp/B007G83T16

The design looks the same (maybe all made in the same warehouse but rebadged). The Michelin looks aluminum though and I like the colors more. Not sure if it can be bought in the US.
