Car (up)lifting ideas?
Gang,
I'm looking into various options of lifting the Supra.
I currently have a pair of ramps which I tested recently. I backed up onto them and it raised the rear to about 10".
Now I'd like to lift the front too so I can get under comfortably.
I'm looking to get a floor jack. I prefer one that lifts to 20-21" but the only ones that I found (at local stores) that lift to that height start at 6" which is too high to fit under the car.
1. Is lifting to 14-15" sufficient? Should I not insist on 20"+?
2. Does anybody know of a unit that will lift from 5.5" to 20"+
(2-3 ton capacity max, as I don't want it to be too heavy)
3. Should I get a small unit 14-15" and lift to 20-21" in stages?
(by adding "spacers")
I'm also planning on buying a pair of wide-base jack stands. Brands/desirable height?
Any and all ideas/tricks would be appreciated.
