Default How to Jack up your Porsche with a 4 post lift.

I recently performed a bunch of work on my car and wanted to Jack her up and didn’t want to spend $1k for the Jack system for my lift. Enter this beauty. It is military grade and made in the USA. I did have to Hack



off the nub on the mounting point for clearance but found this to be an excellent solution.

I’d recognize those heavy bastards anywhere. They should definitely do the trick.

I’m interested in this jack but I was wondering if the top is replaceable to accommodate other cars without holes on the jackpoints. Thanks.

I used a hacksaw and cut the nub off the Jack head. I did this because of the clearance issue to get under the 911. I think you only have about 5 1/2 inches of clearance. So yes it now is able to Jack anything up.
it is machined on so I am
it sure if it is replaceable.

Thanks for the reply. I may need to get one too.
