i bought these ramps when i worked on old muscle cars. they are very strong and heavy. this is not a walmart car ramp.they also slope very smoothly so low cars like my 94 vette would roll write up. ( as well as the 928). i also bought the middle brace so you can pick up the car take all the wheels up and mounty it to jack stands from there ( or bottle jacks ) .you lift the car by the rear cross member with a simple floor jack and the rear legs pop out. if it can handle the cuda it can handle a 928 weight anyday

excellent for fuel lines ,exhaust, suspension, transmission, brakes
the jack stands are there just in case but you can try all you want to shake the car it does not move.

I use 4 6-ton Craftsman stands at the jack points, then use an additional 4 3-ton stands under the frame rails and the rear cross-member. Plus, I also leave the jack up, but not touching, near where I am working

kwik lift, the safe way to work. Lets see, how much is your survival worth to you. Just think by using the wrong stuff for a few seconds, can cost you a life time of misery.

O/T....

Tom,

Is that a vinyl mat underneath your lift? If yes how do you like it and is it easy to keep clean?

i actually painted that part of the garage floor with quick cote i believe is the name. hot tires do not effect it and oil does not soak in it just beads to the surface.clean up is very easy. i just found the light grey with the high shine makes it easier to find bolts that fall .

the height was great when i was working on the oil pan and oil cooler lines. the main reason i bought the kwik lift was from my wife who had i real problem with a car up on stands with our kids running around playing flash light tag . no matter how many stands you put up it always seemed dangerous.
