Its called a 2X4. I drive on one of those to get the side up. Or use your frame connectors. I jack mine up by those. Oh wait a minute, you dont have those yet.

I have one from Sams Club I bought a couple years ago that I like a lot.
I don't like the one pictured because the lift face has 4 "teeth" that like to leave indentions!

HAHAHA In all seriousnes, frame connectors are probally the best upgrade. Noticible in stifness. Easy to put on too. Weld in of course.

Ahh, that makes it nice. He a good welder? know the proper way of installing them? If your smart, you will get the ones with the seat supports. You are like me, a big boy. That helps alot with the flimsy floor these cars have.

didnt see any online and i dont have a membership. is the one you got a flat face? i dont see how that could be very secure....even the cheap lifts have some kind of "teeth" for it to secure to.

Good. It should be nice then.

thats the jack i have. i dont have any problems at all with it

**sutyak** · 03-18-2007, 03:36 PM

I've done 3 sets of SFCs. All from LMM with the seats cross brace.
I support the front by drive-on ramps (turned around for room to move), and the rear by jacks on the axle tubes right by the shocks (or A arms for a Cobra).
I set the vehicle as level as I can with what I have and try to mimic the sprung weight as it would sit on the ground.

Jared the jack I use has a square face with a rubber grip mounted in the center.
No slippage issues, and no dents left behind.
They don't have the jack on the site only in store.
I don't have a membership anymore either since they moved!
