Looking for easy way to lift the front of the Slingshot all in one step......... Anyone using either the Harbor Freight or Sears aluminum ATV jack to do this?
Lifting front of Slingshot
-
Not gonna happen like that..

No way
if you have something like a quick jack you can lift all at once
If not you need to lift one side at a time and then use jack stands -
I respectively disagree, this is the same floor I use. With my Slingshot as low as I have mine set, I first use Rhino Ramps to get under the front spoiler.

I'm surprised the SS doesn't fall over. With just the rear tire and that jack on the ground, balance could be tricky.

That is why I use a 4 ton jack, the spreader will fit on small jacks also but I would be worried about stability. But then again I do not run a bicycle tire on the rear. I still put jack stands under before starting work. I think lifting with this spreader is much safer than lifting one side at a time and placing one jack stand at a time, I always worry about shifting weight. You can also lift much higher safely.
I use the same jack to lift the rear. The spreader rotates so you can get in at angle and lift at both lifting points on the frame at the same time.

I use two floor jacks from Harbor Freight, one on each side and no balance issues.

Honestly sir I have never seen that set up.
But if it fits under the front and hits both front jack points you have a winner. -
On mine I do need to run up on ramps to get this setup under the front, but it does actually lift from both recommended lift points at the same time. Actually I can't get most floor jacks under my frame as it sits.

Great share - where did you find it with that kind of setup to fit both lift points?

I use an LS3 and about 500hp. Oh wait. You meant in the garage... please disregard.

The low profile aluminum racing jacks fit fine, but you can only do one side at a time
MY quick Jack arrived today. Can't wait to give my SS a lift

Quick Jack is the way to go!!!
The spreader floor jack I already had for lifting my Escalade.

OK well 1st the OP was asking about a Bike Lift, that is a floor jack, big difference. 2nd great idea! I have seen and even used one of those and forgot all about them, great job!
