Here's what I use:
http://www.norcoindustries.com/produ...del/81208.html A bit overkill but I can get the car level with these on one end and a set of 8" Race Ramps on the other. They were the only ones I could find made in the USA at the time too. |

They've very robust. I've been under the car a plethora of times with them, never any worries. Coupled w/some ramps, they allowed me enough space to change out my exhaust/x-pipe, put on coilovers, and misc other under car duties. 10/10.

LOVE...LOVE...LOVE my ESCO jack stands!!! I bought four of them and have put the ///M up on all four several times now. Totally stable! No worries being under the car. They are solid and I haven't had a second thought about safety once the car is propped up on all four. Totally recommend!!!!!

Your post is very timely! I was just logging on to see what the model numbers were since I am going to order a set (got a load of maintenance items coming up). Just curious...why the Esco instead of the Torin?

What's up slick......a couple of people I've spoken with speak very highly of the Esco's. One constant thing I keep hearing is how stable they are when jacking the car from the side to use four stands. Maybe we can try to get a deal if we get a couple of sets. Let me know which way you go.........Phil

I was just looking at purchasing these.
Unfortunately I can't find them offerered with only the swivel blocks anymore (have to buy the flat tops and then a set of swivel blocks on top $$). Are the swivel blocks really worth it? Seems like they may be more difficult to use since you have a smaller target vs the large flat tops? |

1: Jack up one side at the forward most jack point on the side of the car 2: place block under the front wheel in order to keep the front of the car high enough to get the jack under the front center jack point 3: jack the front of the car up as high as it will go 4: place a jack stand under each of the two forward most side jack points 5: wheel the jack to the rear of the car 6: raise the entire rear section by jacking up the rear subframe 7: place jack stands under the rear most side jack points 8: remove jack ...done. To get it down, i just go in reverse. If i had a low-profile jack I could eliminate the first two steps, and i plan on investing in one soon. But for now, that is how I do it. Also... I like to use my stands with a jack pad adapter... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It isn't necessary, but it keeps the side jack points on the car from getting messed up. Hope this helps.

I think another maker sells something like the old EZ lift but for more like $1200. Not bad if you need portability or cannot fit a real lift. I bought a new 2 post for $1400 a few years ago from Greg smith equipment.
