    I did a search & didnt come up with anything.

    Wondering if anyone has tried the two jack stands above on their Ferrari.
    Any feedback or experience with them would be greatly appreciated.

    I currently have a 2016 California T.
    I removed one rim to get the curb rash fixed and there is just no space on the bottom frame to safely put a jack stand to support one end of the car while the wheel is out.

    Note that I do have the QuickJack 5,000 and love them. I dont think I can safely raise only one side of the car using QuickJacks.

    This single jacks would be good when I need to remove only one wheel to get the tire repaired or rim fixed.

    Note that I have no affiliation to any of them and that's why I didnt attach a link to their website.
    Just seeking feedback.

    Many thanks in advance.

    These cars have a factory lift area near each wheel well. On my Portofino,the front areas are too small to raise the car with a floor jack and put in a jack stand before removing the floor jack. Frustrating.

    However,all these cars had an optional spare tire that comes with a scissors jack to change a tire. The Owner's Manual shows where to put the jack (pp.168-169 for Portofino). My NAPA auto parts store had a scissors jack with a lift plate that fits the lift area.

    Thanks for the info Walt.

    I looked at my owners manual and workshop manual and looks like a scissor jack is the way to go to remove just one wheel & not have to use a floor jack.

    I will search for a high quality heavy duty scissor jack. Any recommendations from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

    By the way, I use a hockey puck on top of my floor jack and QuickJack to protect the bottom trim piece and make proper contact with factory jack points.

    The contact pad on that jack is 2" by 2.75". You have to make sure the contact pad will fit in the authorized lifting area.
