No, this is not a thread about masturbation or Lo-Jack.
What do you use to lift your 997? Does a standard Craftsman jack fit under a 911?
I'm asking because I want to buy a jack this weekend so I can throw on my snow shoes.
Thanks.

LOL ... You can tell it's Friday! ... ![cherrsagai](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/drink.gif)
Dave, guess you don't know jacks. Here's a thread on jacks, I'm sure there are others:

I still haven't bought a new one yet, so maybe this thread will help to stir up suggestions.

Here's another one Dave, this one from the 996 forum:

Looks like Costco has a decent one, as well as Sears. I might check them out this weekend myself, since it's on my Christmas wish list.

I ended up buying a Craftsman jack for $30 (on sale) that come in its own plastic case - perfect for those of us who are city dwellers. Its low clearance is 4 1/2 inches compared with 5 1/2 inches which seems to be the standard jack height.

It comes in a plastic carrying case that fits well in the bottom of the trunk. I'll post tomorrow if I get a chance to swap my snow wheels and let you know how well it works. Looking at the web link it is usually 39.99 but 10 buckaroos off until tomorrow!!!!!

Oh, I think I have that one already, or at least one very similar to it. It does a good job, but I'm looking to buy one of the beefier ones that has a higher lift and higher capacity. Those usually run close to a hundred bucks or more.
Are you putting snows on all 4?

If the $30 super jacks don't work out, here is a link to the type of jack I purchased from Summit Racing. It goes down to 3 1/2".

Evidently Summit Racing sold out of these and now sells a red one that looks similar, but who knows?

On the topic of Jacks, what is the ground clearance at the points the jacks have to be placed (many of the 'Standard' jacks are more than 4.5 inches I think) which may be too tall for the jack to fit under the car?
