Default What Jack to Use?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/110172/rs-4_at_alta_cropped_more.jpg"></center><p>Ok, I've had my RS-4 for 2 months, the photo is from a "training run" to the Alta ski area. I have the snow tires ready to go (225-45-18) and here in the west carrying one as a spare on long Nevada drives is a good idea...so where to get a jack?

I checked the A-4 jacks, nice aluminum but I can't see how it fits on the RS-4 frame or jack point. Any ideas.

Default Harbor Freight has a number of inexpensive aluminum floor and round hydraulic jacks

Not the best ones in the world, but for home use they are fine. If you are still in Nevada, there is a store right off the highway in Reno.

Default Ultimate Garage

I have a lightweight aluminum one from Harbor Freight for track days, but for home use I much prefer this jack from Ultimate Garage. The handle arrived broken, they sent a new one overnight to me.

While your ordering, get a set of these jackstands. I got rid of my stamped steel ones once these arrived:

Default I have the Sears Craftman one..highly recommended.

No jack works perfectly with any of the jack positions on any audi.
