There have been alot of threads covering jacking up the 911, but I haven't come across the answer to this. I have a craftsman floor jack which raises to about 20-21in. or so. With the hockey puck I use in the center(for protection against damaging the engine)I get maybe another 1/2 in or so of rise. If I want to get the car up to use a 6-ton jackstand which raises to over 26 in., how do I do it? I have thought about putting the jack on some 2x12's after the car is up on the standard jackstands but don't really know how safe this is. Considering that the jackstands go under the torsion bars and those start off a ways from the floor, there are times I would like to get the car up in the air a bit more. How do you guys do it?

We use a pair of heavy floor jacks with 2x8s depending upon placement. Just make sure that you don't crimp little metal things that hold the oil lines in place. We used safety jacks to make sure the car didn't tip frontways or backwards.
