Nervous jacking the car up - Page 3

I did just order the ZL1 Addons Lift Pads after looking at the jack point locations. My Honda and Toyota had pinch weld reinforcements that created a stronger, reinforced spot. These pads look awesome.

Very sano , like a operating room.

Which model Quickjack? The 5000TL looks good or should I order the 7000TL?

The 5000 has plenty of capacity for the Camaro...

The 5000TL is a future desire. For now, i'm happy that I can lift the entire side at once. The lift points are handy. I do have a jack pad and some extra rubber pads that allow for clearance with the floor jack and body. It's kind of silly.

Did my skip shift eliminator and oil change. I used those aluminum pinch weld adapters stacked on top of a hockey puck to lift. My harbor freight jack's saddle barely clears the rocker panel if the puck sits as close to the edge of the saddle as possible. I wanted to get the zl1 addon lift points but I dont want them permanently attached to the pinch weld, and amazon doesnt sell them individually. I don't like lifting really high on one side but had to for the skip shift eliminator. Expanding a 90 degree pliers helped unplug the connection, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do it given the angle and tight space.

yes you can jack your camaro from that rear support .... done it many times with no issue ....

I have used the rear crossmember lift point with a hockey puck

works great.

when raising on the pinch welds, I have the missus lift the other side while I'm
lifting my side, 2 floor jacks (zl1 lift blocks installed)

eldersCAMARO · 04-25-2023, 03:57 PM

this may be a stupid question but to use a lift instead of jacks, can you lift the entire car with the zl1 add-ons with hockey pucks from the lift points on the furthest points in the front and furthest points in the back?

Just want to make sure I installed it at the perfect points.
