wow really? stock height no aero lip?

 

Are the control arms safe to use for jack stands? Are they not aluminum?

 

Yes, and it's the paint cracking unfortunately.

Yes, I tried using ramps (the FRP kind available at Advance Autoparts) and they didn't fit under the front bumper even at stock height. If you want ramps they're going to need to be LONG to get you more than a few inches off the ground.

 

Thanks for the feedbacks fellows..
Those pictures on that one link were very helpful to..

I have some ramps that I got from Pep Boys and they work fine. I've also driven it up the standard ramps for a lift and it barely clears. I don't have extra long ramps, just the typical ones. I don't think it scrapes at all, but if it does, there are no noticeable scratches on the bottom of the bumper.

 

Has anyone tried these ramps?

These wheel cribs should take care of any damage caused by regular jack stands.

The wheel cribs state that the set holds a max of 3000 pounds. Our girls are big boned lol.

We're over the weight limit

 

A set is 2 cribs. You'd have to be quite a bit over our approx. 3500lb. curb weight to be putting 3000+lbs on 2 wheels. They should be more than strong enough to hold one or both ends (with 2 sets) of the X.

 

Ahh, you are correct. My mistake.

 

I absolutely abhor the chosen jack points on this car and cannot for the life of me figure out why they couldn't make them more substantial. The car sounds like a sinking Titanic when you jack it up to the point that I'm very uncomfortable doing so.

 

I have a set of the 56" 2-piece Race Ramps & the 10" cribs. My car has Aero and it just clears on the 56" ramp. If you are lowered then I'd recommend the 67" set. I may need to order their Xtender when I install the coilovers.

One catch with the cribs is that a lot of jobs require removing the wheels and you'll have to use jack stands anyway in those cases.

 

Is it safe to jack on the rear diff? Seems you would run the risk of cracking the case... I need to jack up the car today to swap tires for the first time anyone have tips for the rear diff jack up?

 

The rear diff has a round jack point for a reason

 

Ah sorry I have not seen it yet.....Thanks for the clarification.
