How safe is this lift setup? | The De Tomaso Forums

stevebuchananMember

I have the car up on a Quick Jack. On each end of the car I also have a 3 ton jack stand. The Quick Jack is lowered onto its stops. There is weight on the Quick Jack pads as well as the jack stands. When I shove the car back and forth, it seems stable.

Do you think it is safe to work under this car? I will be disassembling its motor mounts for inspection.

Thank you for your input.

Looks good to me, I wish I had quick jacks! I usually put two jack stands in the front and rear.

I think that's a safe bet, the Quick Jack stop is a safety device so should be plenty strong.
