Sure, that's technically possible... Tho, like you mentioned you'll want to keep an eye on the front lip as it may hit the ground. Also, make sure you're on a flat surface and that your front wheels are free to move since when you jack up the back end front wheels will need to move / rotate back a bit. A quick opinion about stability, I'd suggest the car is more stable up on 4 fixed points vs 2 fixed points and two rolling points. A pair of ESCO 3-Ton jack stands are a nice compliment to the Jackpoint jack stands.

Thanks everyone will be ordering them soon. Now I just need to find a low profile light weight car jack to go with it. Something
low enough to get under the RS and strong enough to lift the Taycan. Don't have many good options here in Dubai. Any recommendations
for 2020? I really like the {Brunnhoelzl BRI-002 Low Profile Aluminum Racing Jack} this thing is a beauty but it is way over my budget. Shipping
is very costly. Dont want to spend more than 800 US.

Guy I follow on YouTube has this jack with his jack point jackstands. Free shipping with Amazon prime but with you being in Dubai, I’m sure shipping would be expensive even direct from the manufacturer.

These look solid but nearly 90 LBS just way too heavy for me. Solid though.

I have a pair and use them often. They stack easily for storage. Don’t hesitate on ordering them.
Because of this post string , I’ve been shamed into buying another pair so I am always lifting the entire car.
they are so easy to use and give you such a feeling of security when you are working on the car. There is nothing to fail in their construction.
My wife needed a gift idea for my birthday this week and I gave her the part number. They’ve been ordered and are staged for shipment.

Check out the DK 20 model on their website. That is actually perfect. Sits at a low 3.15 and weighs at a 68LB. Will try to get these thanks.

Read over the part that said lightweight. Those jacks are definitely not lightweight so hopefully someone else can chime in.

I've got this one and use it on my rather low 997GT3 and 991RS. Maybe cheaper to get your hands on?
