I'm selling my Jackpoint jackstands with Porsche block/pads. They work fantastic and are a must for anyone who works on their own car!

I'm selling them because I bought a lift and don't need them any longer.

From their site:

This is the same Jackpoint Jackstand base with a shorter low profile jack pads for lower cars. This is the recommended pad and stand combination for Porsche 911's (1987 Carrera - 991), Porsche Boxsters and Caymans (all years), Chevrolet Corvettes (C5 and C6), BMW's (with adapter block). (Note: Corvette C7's should use the Recessed pad with Reverse Logic Corvette adapters). When selecting Jackpoint Jackstands choose the jack pad style that will work best with your car. THE LOW PROFILE PAD IS PICTURED ON TOP OF THE BASE.


I'm looking to get $275.00 shipped. (US only)

What a quick sale this was! I was looking for a set to buy for the 911 and at the time they were out of stock. As a compromise, I went out and bought a set of 4 low height jack stands (10.5"-14") and this did the job perfectly. It's well documented that if you put your jack underneath the rear jack point of the 911, you can raise both front and rear of same side of 911 to put jack stands underneath, provided you have low enough height jack stands. I have no need for the Jackpoint jack stands now.

Windblow,

How do you get the rear jack stand under the jackpoint if you're jacking the car from that point? I totally agree that the jackpoint jackstands up front are largely superfluous (I use them up front because they're bullet proof, but you can jack from the rear and use Esco stands I suppose) - but how do you get the rear jackstand on the jackpoint without a jackpoint jackstand?

I raise my car from the rear jack point, then put my rear jack stand under the rear cross member and the front jack stand under the front jack point, all at the same time. I go to the other side and repeat the same procedure. I can then remove all 4 wheels. If you only need to secure the rear after jacking up, then one jack stand under the rear cross member is needed.

JTT

So, essentially you have a tripod, using only three stands, right? Interesting take. I do similar but use the cross member for jacking, and jack points for stands. I am still very nervous about the "rocking" action of lifting one side, then other, front, then back.

windblow

No, I use all 4 stands. I put two on the rear cross member, one on each side close to the suspension arm of that side. There's absolutely no rocking action - it's solid stable at all time.

JTT

Ahh....makes sense. Thanks for the clarification

Foxman

Windblow, have you considered reversing the process and jacking up the rear cross member and placing the jack stands under the proper Jackpoints? I know there are many folks out there who jack on the rear cross member or the engine, but I greatly prefer to stick to the manual and only jack in the prescribed Jackpoints. That's the real beauty of the Jackpoint jack stands.

Cheers!

​​​​​​jacking by the engine ?

windblow

If you jack up the rear cross member and place the jack stands under the rear jack point, then there's no place to put the front jack stand when you use the front jack point to jack up the front. As I stated earlier, If you jack up the car from the rear jack point, you can place both front and rear jack stands in place at the same time.

Fully correct; Rear first than front. Work fine on my 4S, takes 2 minutes maximum.

I guess I'm not fully following, and perhaps its my 993 perspective?

First let me say again I have no interest in jacking the car on anything but the Jackpoints. That's the whole point of the Jackpoint jack stands, pun intended.

As far as process, I jack the right rear Jackpoint with a Jackpoint jackstand top on the floor jack and jack the car high enough to get a jackstand under the right front Jackpoint. Lower the floor jack onto the jackpoint stand for the right rear, and the repeat the process on the left side.

So I guess I'm wondering why cant you jack the rear up high enough to put a jackstand under the FRONT corner AND the rear corner Jackpoints in one fell swoop. Again, pardon my ignorance if this is a 993 thing.
