There is no way we can pick our ZL1 up with a floor jack by using the owners manual, the manual is for the cars with a jack that comes in the trunk. I even looked in the maint manual and it was confusing also. It's that you do not want to bend the floor pan and have to go so far inboard to get to the subframe.

Many members ask if we can use the jack pads with jack stands?? You could but I would not recommend it. It is better to put the jack stands under the sub frame and use the jack pads to jack the car up. If you want to put the jack stands at the pinch weld you can but no need for the jack pads, the jack stands are small enough to fit inside the rocker covers. The pads are made to keep a large top lift or floor jack from crushing the lower rocker cover.

We now have jack pads for the late model Mustang, Corvette, Challenger and Charger.

Here is a look with my car jacked up with the jack pad, many ask how it fits on the pinch weld.

The jack pads are kept in a zip lock bag with the jack. If you're this prepared, you'll never need a tow.

Great product. Thanks John.:thumbup:

Which scissor jack did you get? Thanks.

Found a low profile electric jack on FleaBay that was capable of lifting 2000kG.

Sorry, but I don't have a link.

For the jack pads and for the splitter guard washers.

John, does the jack pad make contact just on the pinch weld, on either side of pinch weld, or all three points?

It makes contact with the bottom of the pinch weld and the inner floor pan. The opening in the lower panel is for a jack with a slotted top to just pick up on the pinch weld. Our ZL1s do not have a jack or any correct info on how to jack the car up. I have the complete manual and the owners manual and they do not give correct info. So I came up with the jack pads so I could lift my car with a lift or floor jack.
