Hey Ken,

Superformance tells you not to use theirs to jack up the car. The quick jacks themselves would be strong enough, it is the structure and attachment to the frame that is the issue. Obviously, if there is flex in the quick jacks the mounting studs will contact the body and damage it.

The front and rear frame and support work is quite different on the replica's versus the original. I guess you could attach the quick mounts and gently apply pressure to each with a jack and see where reinforcement needs to be placed. I decided to go with bumperettes and hoops since the quick jacks weren't going to be functional.

If you go ahead with this I would like to see the lift jack you make to use the quick jacks. The car would look cool jacked up on two of them.
