New to forum I've been lurking for a month....but... I'm not new to forums.

I could use some help I have this scissor lift.



There are no pinch points on the car to lift or place lifting pads. My 2013 Mustang Gt has square lifting holes and the only thing that can be placed in the lifting holes is the jack that came with the car. I've searched a lot and found lifting pucks or adapters for pinch point types but again I have square holes and I would like to lift the stang from the outside edges. Anybody got any ideas????? NEW BABY below

 

For the back I have been using the "pumpkin" and then placing jack stands under the axle and then for the front I jack up on where the control arm connects to the frame and then put the stands on the frame rail.

 

There should be two areas that have openings just inside the rocker stripe about 6"-12" after the front wheel and before the back wheel that will allow a jacking pad or puck to fit on the pinch weld.

True Forged makes a very nice billet pad that works on the 13 Shelbys. I assume the GT is the same.

Look at this thread on Team Shelby for pictures.

Thanks anyway but I want to lift without using jack stands.

 

This may work but metal on my plastic rockers kinda scares me...Plus I need 4, kinda expensive at $65 each

 

They do not touch the plastic rockers. There is a small opening where the pad fits directly on metal.

Buy 4 hockey pucks and cut them to size with a slot and the same result can be achieved.

 

Still expensive but ONLY $50 each:

I might try this.

 

Got to be something out there that's cheaper. $200 bucks can buy lots of goodies for the GT or 4 tanks of premium gas. I'm gonna try making something.

 

MJJ: Look at this thread on Team Shelby for pictures.

Does anyone have a link to a similar jacking diagram document for the 2005-2009? (I realize it's probably darn near identical, just wondering.).
Off to find some hockey pucks...

PS: sorry for the thread hi-jack (pun intended)

 

Don't wanna jack it. I have a scissor lift I need 4 - 1 for each corner. Looks like I'm going to have to make em. A lot cheaper than $200 plus bucks.

I'll figure something out and let you all know.

 

I guess Im jacking my car up wrong.. Im putting the lift pads on what looks like where you would put Subframe connectors. Seems thats a better spot to jack up the car at compared to the pinch welds

 

I would love to have the billet pucks, but man too many other ways to spend money on this car. I think I will wind up making them out of wood on my bandsaw, not as pretty but a lot cheaper.
I love the ideas and design.

 

Two in the same boat, i'm lifting my car the same way.

Nonono

Pinch welds, k member, or axle tubes only.

 

Oh right, oh right, will pay attention next time.
