I recently picked one of those up from the Gadget Man. Haven't used it yet. Seems very well made!

I have two of the black cross members (like shown in the photo) to support jack stands, hydraulic jacks, transmissions.

Cliff,

My jackstands look like yours in the pic. Only mine are black.

Those are not my jack stands.....just found that for illustration.
My jack stands are identical however but Red in color (heavy duty).

That is not my KwikLift ....this is
Both black Bridges are shown.

Also shown with my rig for winching a ZR-1 onto KwikLift (no engine)

I have to look.....but I am thinking either jack up at the normal jack point just in front of rear tire with jack on quick lift (roadway) and then support center of jacked up leaf spring with adapter and blocks on the bridge. Or jack up with adapter on center of leaf spring and support normal jacking points in front of rear tires on blocks on quick lift (roadway).

But have to look more closely.

Oh....I am assuming you want to maybe remove rear differential/short shafts completely with ZR-1 up on KwikLift?

Yeah that is what I do now, but Would like to find a better way to lift it in the center.... Hmm maybe off the Leaf spring mount.. That could work..
struggle is getting the car on the lift and clear the tube so I can use the bridge at the back

I use a extra strong short pipe section under the center of the heavy leaf spring between the four main bolts holding that spring in place. but some have said that extra strong pipe section does not fit easily between the stock exhaust pipes behind the differential (fits perfectly with SW Exhaust).

I think I did jack up the ZR-1 with the extra strong pipe section and stock exhaust however. One advantage is that the rear of the ZR-1 is rather light compared to the front

Lifting and Towing the ZR-1

Now if you want to have fun.....get these mats to keep your ZR-1 dry from condensation (Mid West Guys) and the floor all around the ZR-1 NON SLIP

The mats are 3/8 closed cell foam 2 ft x 2 ft interlocking squares (easily disassembled and rearranged as you like).
