Have always performed routine service on all our cars. Already had built ramp extenders for our daughters' Honda Civics, but the front spoiler on Shelby is too low. So, built longer ramp extenders, but the front still will not clear. Neither of my 2 standard floor jacks will not fit under the car. Looking for suggestions/solution to changing oil on '07 Shelby GT as really prefer to service the car myself. Also looking/dreaming about 2 post lift for my shop, but have concerns about clearance issues. Mohawk lift appears to work at 3 1/2" but spendy. Anyone have a 2 post lift they would recommend. Thanks. Lg
Rotary made a nice lift,2 post,had one in my home garage put in by previous owner,lifted his 3/4 ton dodge and my 3/4 ton suburban with no problems Steele
I just changed my oil on my 2008 shelby using two low tech ramps made out of 2 x 10's. The base board is 32" long, spaced 6" back the next board lays on top of the first, then screwed down. The third board is 6" back on top of the second. Drove the car right up on them and had enough clearance to change oil and filter. Took all of 15 minutes to make them.
Oil & filter is changed! Combination of advice and what I had already done. Cut 20" 2x8's as step up just before ramp extension had already made. Still a bit stressful driving it up the ramps but works for now. 2 post lift likely will move closer to happening. Thanks for the comments. Lg
Great! I was a bit nervous too when I drove up the ramp. Went really slow. Two post lift not worth the expense unless you do a lot of mod work under the car IMHO. Need to save that money for gas.
