Default Someone was GENIUS

Whoever suggested using bottle jacks instead of horses is a GENIUS ! Thta is the best way I have seen to lift and handle a car for little money. (4) 6 ton jacks where $24.95 each.
I can also use that on the modified when we work on it.
Think these tires will work on a 928? Woild give a great bite for sure!!

They will work great, but see Louie Ott for a set of his "Niizaazz" fender flares.

Aren't the bases on bottle jacks a little small for stability? The reason for the 6T jackstands-- besides the height-- is the nice wide bases which make it harder to tip the car off the stands. Would hate to see anyone squished...

You can get them with a wide base. IF you are going UNDER the car then YES a jack stand is in order but most of the time it is quick and easy for sure.
Rubber is for the modified.

I'm confused. Horses? And isn't a 6 ton bottle jack kinda high to get under a 928 and doesn't it have relatively short lift?
