    I have a Quickjack to raise the 575. I’m planning on taking the wheels off to clean the suspension. I’d like to place jack stands as well. Obviously the Quickjack uses the lift points, so where is the next best/safest place for a jack stand on a Maranello?

    Thanks in advance :)

    Doesn't the Quick Jack lock into place without Hydraulic pressure? Why the added jackstands needed? You can also place floor jack or stands along the frame around the transaxle for added security. Photo is a 456, but should be similar enough

    Thanks mate. Yes, it locks into place. I'd like to place jackstands as a bit of added security. The quickjack instructions actually state do not work under the car without added jack stands. They're designed in the US but made in China, the possibility of a poor weld holding the quickjack frame is in the back of my mind

    Cheers and thanks for taking the time to reply
