What does everyone use to lift their Mach-e?

[JFoxtrot]

Looking for suggestions for a jack and/or lifts. I tried searching for an existing thread but couldn’t find what I needed. I’m planning to paint my calipers soon, and am not sure I need all 4 wheels off the ground at any point for this or the future.

What does everyone use?

I use Discount Tire.

Not every tire shop has hydraulic lifts that work with EVs. I don't remember the brand I bought but you can find a lot on line. Look for URMECCH lift pucks. Seems to be a predominate brand.
Be sure to ALWAYS see them in their pack after tire work. One time a mechanic forgot to put in the rear hatch area.

Just a regular jack under the proper jacking points and if I use axle stands just place them just before or after the jack point, perfectly safe as I see it as the structure’s the same all the way along that jacking platform.

I use a load spreader on one of my floor jacks. https://www.harborfreight.com/steel-floor-jack-cross-beam-64051.html

I also use car stands with polyurethane saddle covers to support the car once it is the air. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ptp-19-1412

I showed Discount Tire my lift pucks, and they used the pucks and a regular floor jack to replace my tires.

I have a 5000lb quickjack that I haven't yet used on the MachE. The MachE (extended battery) is right at the limit of the quickjack so I haven't decided to use it or not at this point, haha.

Generally I've used a floor jack with a puck.

I use two floorjacks with pucks to rotate the tires.

Hey just wondering the purpose of the pucks you have…? And do you have a link to them?

I've been using a BenPak MD-6XP Mid-Rise Lift (4' lift height) for about 10 years. I have this because I've always done all my own maintenance/modifications and it makes any job easier. However lately, I've now been using it a lot more for detailing since at my age it's been more difficult to get down on my knees.

Thanks. Are these simply to align the jack? Seems like a hockey puck would do the same thing no?

They are used to make sure the jack is positioned at the correct location so the HVB is not damaged. I thought the video made that clear.

I bought 4 Corvette pucks, and permanently mounted them. Then just use a Daytona floor jack.

Yes I did understand that. But it’s not hard to find where to jack it I don’t think.
