I'll probably drive up the front two and lift the rear. I think the ramps are lower than small 3 ton jack stands. A set of 6 ton stands is really too high. No problem lifting with a 3 ton ARCAN jack.  |
Here's an ingenious and perfect solution to the problem, a patented design that lets you lift and support the car at the jacking point locations - Jackpoint Jackstands. The product is very popular over at the Porche enthusiast's forums. I'm planning to get them.
