I wanted to be able to reach the rear crossmember on my 996 turbo, and took the following measurements:
- Ground to bottom of side skirt (at rear jacking point): 9.5cm
- Rear cross member to rear of car: 90cm
- Ground to bottom of exhaust silencer: 14.5cm
In the end, I went for the Weber WDK1.3 HLQ / WDK13HLQ, which is identical to the AC Hydraulics DK13HLQ model recommended by Pelican parts for jacking up a 996. It was quite expensive, but is a fantastic bit of kit - very low with a very long reach.
Some measurements of that and other jacks I looked at follow...
