Dan Juday Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I have a set of those. To get the benifit of the extra height I have to jack the car twice as my floor jack doesn't reach as far as the stands can. The other issue is that the base on those stands is so wide that sometimes it's difficult to find a place for the floor jack and fit the stands where you want them under the small Z car.

Chaparral2f Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I've had a set for quite a while, and have nothing bad to say about them. I got mine because they will hold a car high eonugh to pull an automatic transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.I.jonas Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Just be careful, harbor freight is very hit or miss.They might be fine or they might be missing welds/necessary parts as well as the possibility of some Chinese persons body part stuck in it from the manufacturing process.
