Where is the best jacking point to lift cobra using a floor jack. Front/rear? Also any ideas on driving onto ramps on a slick garage floor. Ramps just slide out from under car when i try to drive on them?

Thanks guys.

Take a piece of heater hose and slice it long ways. put it on the bottom front of the ramp. I've done this before and it works great. you may want to put some sylicone <spelling? in the slice and let it dry to keep it attached to the ramp.:beer:

There is one thing I hate to do is jack one off the body. I put a floor jack under the lower a-arm on the front or back with a piece of wood between the jack and the arm. Then you only have to lift it a small amount to get the tire off the ground and you don't strain the body or suspension.
