Hello everyone, this is my first post so bear with me. NEways I just wanted to get everyone’s opinion on something.

Would it be safe to modify my jackstands by cutting them to accommodate the g35.

Here is a picture of what im talking about

Stock form

Modified form, (what it will look like after cutting)

so what does everyone think?

 

IMHO I think it should work fine like that.

 

How do you plan on cutting it? I don't think it'll be an easy job unless you have a plasma cutter or something. It's a solid piece of cast iron! You can also buy smaller 2 ton jack stands that don't have that big dip.

 

y do u need to modify theme mine work perfect just as they came

 

I think he is doing it that way so he can place them at the same place on the side sills where the jacking points are.

 

^^^Yup.
And I think its a great idea.
Go for it!!

 

If you do cut them, please grind down the edges so that they're not sharp. Freshly cut metal will nick, dent, and score everything.

 

People in the past have purchased a piece of oak, and cut it to fit in the saddle of the jack, then shaped the oak pc. so it fits the jacking point exactly.....in your case it looks like a round pc would work great.

It would allow you to still use the jack stands for other purposes, and you can use the oak mod for your G......just a suggestion.

PS they also make adapters for floorjacks so they too will fit the jacking points as well.

 

Don't do it...go to your local sports store and buy a hockey puck. I've been doing this for years. It protects your car and it's very easy.

 

I really like the OPs idea and I think I am going to do the same with a set of my axle stands, but I will line the cut end with heavy rubber.
