Thanks for sharing. Infinitely debating these vs jackpoint jackstands. Eventually I'll make a decision.

I have a set of the jackpoint stands and they are *great* but its quite a palaver to jack all 4x corners of a car ... especially a 911, and the quickjack gets the car higher than jackpoint stands too

this is the best deal I have seen for a while - so I jumped on it!

I only need to jack up the rear with jackpoint and slide jackstand under the front at the same time, never had to put a jack under the front of a 997GT... 5min job

Another dumb question about these. In the highest locked position, would it be dangerous to run your car through the gears while stationary on it? Trying to figure out if that would be a good way to keep the gearbox lubricated and active during the winter months, but obviously not if it were super high risk. Thanks all!

Don't start the car till Spring. And never hibernate the car with the suspension unsprung.

That's actually my normal pattern, meaning what you just described. I thought I could do a bit better with one of these from a storage POV.

Well then, you are doing it right. Continue on that path.
