Jacking the GP onto four jackstand

[THE ITCH]

Has anyone successfully jacked up the GP and put it onto four jackstands? If so could you please explain your procedure. I.E. what you used for a jacking point so you can sneak the jack stand in. Thanks Steve

Not a problem at all guys. Using the blocks and factory Jackpoints on one side front lifts both front and back. Block that side at the back with a jack stand and then let the front down. As the front goes down the opposite back comes up. Put the jack stand under there next.

ok so you now have both back jack points on the stands and the front wheels on the ground. If you lift the front again from the factory point (you need never move the jack) then both sides will come up as the backs are supported. Put the jack stand under that front side opposite the jack and you are full in the air.

At this point I left mine on the jack for the duration but if you really wanted to be on four stands you could let the jack down and slide in a stand. The jack points seem balanced and in far enough that any three will hold the car.

It was a lot easier than expected and I was also surprised at how stable the jacking blocks were. I did go to Harbor Freight and bought a new aluminum low profile jack so I could go right under the body kit with enough clearance.

Good luck, jj
