I got the blocks from Summit Racing I think. They are from raceramps.

to get car on SUV adapter you need to lift with quickjack, put half a raceramp, lower, relift with both quickjack blocks, then install both half of racersmps, lower car on raceramps and relift wirh SUV adapter. Reverse order to lower. Looks complicated but takes maybe 4-5 min to do.

The big blocks (3 inches) does not clear but the small blocks (2 inches) clears fine!

@kart125 What? Your car didn’t melt in the rain?

Thanks for sharing the photos. I’ll be lifting mine soon to swap wheels & tires.

I have a two-post lift (and a 4-poster). I need a little bit of extra height to get the Spyder on it so I use these:

They are inexpensive and work great. I've had them for many years (bought them for my 13 981S)

Someone mentioned you couldn't remove the rear under cover with the liftbars, is that an issue with Quickjack as well? I mainly want to be able to change the oil on my 718 Cayman. I have a T which has the 20mm drop like the GTS but not as much as the GT4.

I can verify that you can remove the covers. Just undo the two outer screws before you jack. I use a thumb ratchet. You then have all the room to remove the rest.
