How I lifted my FRS - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

imartisfrs · 08-15-2014, 02:35 AM

I was trying to install a trd exhaust and was looking around for ideas on how to lift the car up short of buying an ez lift or getting pinned under the car and this is what I came up with. Just wanted to share.

Srs? I know the answer.

I dunno..looks insecure to me, especially the part where you lift the rear. One wrong move (even with the wheel chocks, but especially if you forgot them) and the car could slip backwards, crushing the jack and most probably damaging the differential and/or driveshaft. Might be better off getting one of those heavy, low-profile jack and a couple more jack stands.

I came in here looking for a Lifted Rally FR-S...all I found was an FR-S on jackstands.

I'm sad now...

Sketchy. Just buy a Harbor Freight low profile jack and be safe instead.

They have different ones but the one I got was $227.

That's what I was worried about. While I was slowly lifting it up I was slowly moving the jackstands from the front to the rear as space allowed plus I put the rear part of the ramp on the back wheels to act as a big wheel chock in case it moved backwards. I pushed that in under the rear tires as space also allowed while I was lifting it up. It was pretty stable.
