fritzenberg 3 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 so that 1 1/4 tonne jack should just be enough to lift golf? Link to post Share on other sites
Phat VR6 3 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 so that 1 1/4 tonne jack should just be enough to lift golf?Yeah should piss that, They will be under rated aswell so youd be able to lift more than that if you ever needed to Link to post Share on other sites
Karr-Man 0 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 even tho the weight of the vr6 golf is nearly 1 1/4 tonne u will never be putting that whole weight on the jack anyway, only one corner at a time so the other wheels or axel stands also take a proportion of the weight Link to post Share on other sites
