(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best floor jacks

There are dollies (I have also heard them called skates) that some places use to move cars around.

These make it so you don't have to run the car with exhaust, noise and tire marks inside buildings/showrooms. This also allows you to position it in places that would be tougher or perhaps impossible to drive to. You can push the vehicle horizontally and you can spin it around in place. It would be time-consuming and a bit of work for the crew, but this would be my guess as to how they solved this problem. Have a few sets of those dollies, and have a few teams push the cars around in different areas.

It is also possible that these dealerships have things that are even better and easier nowadays. It has been over 10 years since I worked at the dealership, so it is possible things have gotten better. Also, I am sure this Porche dealership has more money than the Ford dealership I worked for. So they can afford to spend more money to move their more expensive cars.

If it's really daily as you say, a set of these would be a great investment.

Hopefully you don't live on a hill.

Hi-lift jacks are very dangerous and should only be used when nothing else will do the job. I use mine only for getting unstuck, a bottle jack or small floor jack are much safer for things like tire changes.

To help reduce how high I have to lift the vehicle, I use a Lift-Mate. If you jack from the chassis, you have to lift the vehicle much higher due to the suspension droop, this allows you to lift from the tire and is more stable.

Another thing to consider is whether or not you have and lift points on your chassis, the tow hitch is a good spot for the back, but unless you have added a seriously tough front bumper and sliders, you may not be able to jack from anywhere - another reason for the Lift Mate.

Finally, think about the ground. You may need a base to keep the jack from sinking if you are on soft ground like sand or mud. I've used mine for my bottle jack too.

I suggest you watch this video about high lift jacks.

GoJacks would be far better than those because they will lift the car allowing it to be moved instead of needing separate jacks.

These are a better time.

I mean the pads like these ones: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PX213SG/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_ZEgZCbR452RMV

I could bring it to any place in NYC, Wetschester, Putnam or Dutchess counties.

I've consumed (destroyed) several 1.5-2 ton jack: Several Harbor Freight jacks, an aluminum craftsman "racing Jack", and even a hearty steel craftsman jack. Also have destroyed several Advance Auto/ O'rielly crap 1-1.5 ton jacks.

I've since learned my lesson and went out to find one that was truly BIFL, and came across this:

Coupled with a set of their 6-ton jack stands, and I've never found a better combo. (But all jack stands are pretty much the same)

Manufactured by OTC, Spain, it is the same one listed in the Griot's catalog, but for a lot cheaper (Actually bought it before learning this). It is warrantied for life.

Me and my brother embark on some significant car projects, and nonetheless use the **it out of jacks in particular. I have had it about 2.5 years now, and have not been disappointing one second with it. I will probably pass it on to my kids one day!

Edit: I have spent countless dollars at Harbor Freight and had NEVER had anything last more than a few years, let alone a few uses. I consider everything from Harbor Freight Disposable. ABSOLUTELY NOT BIFL.

Gotcha. I drive my front tires up on 1 x 10 boards and use a Pittsburgh 1.5 ton low profile jack using the "clever method" described here.

It was really nerve-wracking the first time I lifted the C6 and put it on jackstands.

They make a product that allows you to lift via attaching to the wheel
Hi-Lift Jack LM-100 Lift-Mate https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00042KGWG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Buy one of these and move their car out into the driveway. Call the management and have it towed.

I would add this one, which is essential if you need to lift the car: Jack Pad Tool

https://www.amazon.com/Tesla-Model-Chassis-Specific-Jack/dp/B07N8YH4LN

maybe a regular jack, and you could wrap a tow strap around the post enough times:

UV-5R, small axe, 3/8 socket set, random pipe, water bottles, tow strap, mosquito repellant, hi-lift jack with liftmate, moving blanket, tarp, paracord, aerokroil

if I had to pick three things it would be the UV5R, blanket, socket set, paracord. see what I did there?

Keep a set of these in your Tesla.. https://www.amazon.com/Dragway-Tools-Hydraulic-Positioning-Capacity/dp/B003W0F33O/ That way you can move their car for them.

You just need a set of these to fix problems like this.

Rather than destroying the car as many of the posters here seem to be encouraging why not just move the car.
Using a set of hydraulic wheel dollys you can simply push the car out of the space.

Arcan XL35 Jack

Costco sells this jack for only about $90-100. It weighs about 100 pounds which is fine if you're not moving it around much and it lives in your garage. Very sturdy and relatively low profile. You can look it up on a ton of car forums because many people have bought this jack.

It's a nice idea on paper, but I'll stick with the emergency kit that came with my car.

The emergency jack barely requires any muscle strength to operate, if a person can lift a kid they can jack their own car up, the jack already comes with a tire change kit by itself.

That leaves the seatbelt cutter, self jumper, and pump. which are pretty useful, but can be bought separately for less than what the entire kit entails.

Having "all in one" emergency tools isn't the greatest idea, the unit breaks and the 4 in 1 becomes a nothing in 1. The premise is gimmicky at best, dangerous at worst.

This particular tool reeks of Chinesium

Many cruiser pilots use hydraulic lifts, possibly combined with some kind of bike-specific adapter.

There are tons of variations, here's a dirt cheap one to illustrate what I mean https://www.amazon.com/VIVOHOME-Hydraulic-Motorcycle-Lift-1500Lb/dp/B0732WP8D9

Some bikes have a smooth bottom and a frame you can lift on without adapters too, not sure about yours. You do not want to be lifting on the oil pan, there has to be something lifting on the frame.

if this is a common problem get a set of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003W0F33O/ref=sxbs_sxwds-stvp_1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=2972357942&pd_rd_wg=GH1F1&pf_rd_r=5B6V402C319QEFT49CKC&pf_rd_s=desktop-sx-bottom-slot&pf_rd_t=301&pd_rd_i=B003W0F33O&pd_rd_w=XNfsN&pf_rd_i=car+wheel+skate&pd_rd_r=B9FS8X3X491RXZ3ZA380&ie=UTF8&qid=1500773830&sr=1

or these if you already have a jack: https://www.amazon.com/Pentagon-Tools-5060-Tire-Skates/dp/B000UAGDTC/ref=pd_cp_60_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B000UAGDTC&pd_rd_r=G2VYWZS4ZMTQPH50PQWR&pd_rd_w=YwRpg&pd_rd_wg=AYZOP&psc=1&refRID=G2VYWZS4ZMTQPH50PQWR

Roll their shitbox out of your spot and then call SFS for a car being left in the middle of the road.

This is the beast i have. Im aware its more than you want to spend but keep in mind you will likely have this for the rest of your life. At its lowest its less than 3 inches and will send a car up nearly 2 feet. Its also only 3 inches all the way to the base.

Hey! I'm not nearby but I can tell you exactly how to get out because I was in your exact shoes about a year ago. It's not about pulling your truck straight back or digging. You have to lift it up first and then back it out. You need a hi lift Jack and a wheel mate:

https://www.amazon.com/Hi-Lift-LM100-Jack-LM-100-Lift-Mate-x/dp/B00042KGWG

Attach that to your front wheel, lift the wheel up out of the rut, fill in the whole underneath it with anything that has traction, and lower the wheel back down. Repeat for at least the other front wheel, or all four if necessary. You'll be able to drive right out.

No need for a fancy winch.

Heh just acquire some Hydraulic Wheel Dollies (or just three buddies with hydraulic jacks), and pickup and move the truck a small enough distance to not be considered grand theft auto, possibly move it to be blocking in a different asshole, or such that he has to get in from the passenger side.

It has two hooks that go in your mag wheel, so it lifts the tire, not the frame.

That way the suspension doesnt sag down, and you can shove whatever under your tire.

I would set them in further out hold them they did in the link below
