I drove mine up on blocks and stack rubber pads on the lift arms so it cleared the rockers.

Or get a Quickjack and go that route, I am able to use the factory lift points with the ZL1addon jack pads.

Can you get under the center of the car with that quick jack? like to get the trans and DS out for example.

Never evere ever do any work under any car without jack stands. They are pretty inexpensive and will last you for a very long time. No sense not having them.

Since there is some wrong information posted, I took a few more photos to help clarify the lift.

There is plenty room underneath and the center is open. I have about 3 feet under the car, which gives me plenty of room to work underneath it on my creeper.

Also you do not need jackstands in conjunction with the lift. It has its own mechanical locks that serve that purpose. Once the locks engage I lower it down onto them and bleed off the pressure some if it is going to sit for a while. Mine has been on the lift for about a week now with no issues or movement.

Lastly, it is portable, all the hyrdo lines have leak free quick disconnects, and the frames have casters on it and when you go to lift it up they engage. Overall it is a perfect system for those who don't have the room for a full size lift but still like to do all their own work.

Anything else I can help clarify?

Why? Have you seen something in your research that doesn't make sense?

Because common sense tells me it's safer with jack stands

Lol..ok...uneducated common sense. Got it though.
For others interested let me know. I am a big DIY guy and this helps me a lot between track days prepping the car.
