Does anyone have any experience with air bag jacks? It could be a handy solution to jack up an Emira easily.

So this Vevor air bag jack in its deflated position is about an eighth of an inch to a quarter of an inch too tall to fit under the Emira jack pad. I think the three-quarter of an inch rubber pad that comes on the airbag jack could be replaced for a shorter rubber pad so it would work.

"If you can't raise the bridge, lower the river".

Just drive the Emira up on to 1 or 2 inch tall storage blocks like these or similar. Or make your own. Should work, right?

When I took the car off the lift I realized the crossbeam would have worked better in the back with no need for toe in. It would mean the lift would be closer together though.

This is specific to the 6000 ELX

I went ahead and purchased some Race Ramps Scale Ramps. I figured they would be handy for jacking low ground clearance vehicles and make it easier to drive up on my scales.

By the way, this is the lower QJ setting, with about 11 inches from underfloor to ground. Full height is about 24 inches of access.

Where did you get these schwaben? Can’t seem to find them.

Where did you get these schwaben? Can’t seem to find them.

Sold by ECS Tuning:

Mine are the 67" low-profile set. When spaced properly for the front wheels, the Emira has clearance between the ramps and front splitter.

Nothing special about Schwaben name. They are probably identical construction to RaceRamps or Megan Racing products as well.

I have just read through this whole thread…. What is the consensus for the best fitting Quickjack in regards to the Emira. Buy the 5000TL or the 5000TLX? Or is there another brand that seems to fit even better for the Emira?

are you buying ONLY for Emira use, or for other cars as well?

Mostly for Emira…. But would like to use with Maserati Levante and a AMG C43. All under the 5000lb limit.

Hello Dragon,
I was looking for a solution to raise the Emira so that I can do an oil change and the air bag jack seemed like a good and less expensive option. Questions if don't mind answering.

1. How much clearance do you actually get to slide under a jack stand?
2. Did you place the air bag stand under the 'frame rail' and not the identified lift points? I assume you can after reading this thread. (So one can put a jack stand under the lifting point)

Thanks

Sorry @DigDugLotus , I thought I replied to this before.

You can measure the points where you want to lift the Maserati/AMG/Emira and see if there's one particular size that fits all three without being too long and interfering with tires.

Yeah, thanks for the response. I did go with the QuickJack 5000TLX. Did the Maserati and the Mercedes easily with it. Just waiting on the Emira to arrive…..

I had plenty of room to install the jack stands when I lifted my Emira. I didn't need to extend the air bag jack to its maximum height to slide my jack stands under the identified lift points. My jack stands were at the lowest setting, so I didn't need a full extension. I used the air bag jack under the frame rail since I wanted my jack stands set under the lift pads.

Hi Dragon.

Thanks for the reply. I think I'll go with the air bag jack solution to do an oil change myself. Can you share the Jack Stand you use? Would it be something like this? Jack Stand Link

Thanks again.

Here are the jack stands I used: https://a.co/d/9JHo31n

Used it on Esprit Exige and now Emira but only transversely.

The staggered arrangement of the jacking points make their use a tad challenging until you 'find a way'.

See the use of a small length of timber and a hockey puck on the NSF jacking point.....
