Awesome, you have the 3t which is $349?

Just chasing the length of the jack, particularly the low profile section, overall length and chassis height. Need to figure out how much I have to play with before the rear of the jack hits the front bar. That would be great, thanks mate :)

It's 735 long.
Low profile starts at 85 mm. Has a slight angle up. To 125 high. Angle section from Centre of jacking plate to 125 measurement is 290 mm.
It then goes into a steep angle section that's 60mm long. Raises to 270 mm. It is then flat.
front section is 280 wide. Rear section is roughly 420 wide.

is that enough?

The steady angle piece is 240 long. Other measurement is from the jacking plate.

Awesome mate, that's all the measurements I need. Thanks very much for that, you are a champ :)

No worries! Like I said earlier. You may have a little drama with hitting the sway bar but driving onto wood/jacking up one side is all you need to get the room.
When you put it back down its fine as it doesn't settle completely.

I think it may be fine on the MPS although it is low, as it doesn't gave much of an overhang on the front. The VP is lowered and the nose is longer so I just need to get the measuring tape out to compare with these measurements.

I have plenty of wood in the garage, leftover from house renos!

Thanks again Wombles.

Then the Kinchrome it is! Had it for quite a while and has done really well. We'll worth the cash.
My jack stands need to be longer to keep up with the jack..
