Good Deal for Floor Jack

I recently purchased some 18" Wheels for use at the track, and as such I'll be swapping wheels often and wanted to purchase a decent floor jack that was quick and easy to use with our ZL1.

I came across this deal on Harbor Freight to get a 1.5 ton low profile racing jack for only $89.99, and then also sourced a coupon code to get a further $30.00 off that price - delivery is only $6.99 on top of that.

I thought I would pass on the details as in my mind this is a fantastic deal for a piece of essential equipment for us ZL1 owners...here is the link and below that a picture of said jack...

Coupon Code is 29552578 which you add once the item has been added to your cart

Hope this helps at least one other person

Seems to have a pretty short reach limiting you to lifting it at the jacking points on the rocker panels rather than the frame. Not a big deal especially if you have a set of the nylon lifting blocks that fit right in the jacking slots.

Right - I'll be using this jack in conjuction with the heavy use magnetic jack pads of course - they work perfect with this and make lifting the car and swapping wheels a breeze

Is 1.5 ton strong enough to lift one side of the car?

Yes - I know other people have used this jack on the ZL1 with great success

The entire car only weighs a touch over 2 tons and you're only lifting part of that weight.

Of course you should put it on jackstands if you are planning to keep it lifted for a longer period of time than just swapping out wheels or anything

yeah, there is a store right up the road from me. I've spent a lot of money there, and have one similar to this with a little longer reach. GREAT deal.

I like how it lifts your car in only 3 pumps with my Bilsteins Pss10s then wheels off. I had to pay the full price, that coupon would've been nice.
