I followed maxjax dimensions and it lifts our 991tt, 997s, 996tt, 996gt2, X5M, 2002, e30m3, e36m3, e46m3, m4 and a lonely Nissan Xterra without any drama. 

 

 It should handle a TR3 or 4 without out any problem.  I have not put a full size truck on it but, I don't see any issue other than it would be a little tight to get in and out once you drive through.

Holy crap that's a list of cars! 11?

Reviving this thread as I just got a Dannmar M6. 

 

 

What spacing did you eventually go with?

 

Anyone else install a maxjax for their ‘02?

 

Would also be interested to hear what jack points you are using. 

 

Thanks!

jack point for a lift are the front of the frame rails and the outer ends of the rear subframe.

 

why not just set up the lift alongside your car.  put the lift arms where you want them.  adjust the location of the lift posts.....then measure the distance you get...

We added cars since then.. 2 x 991 gt3's, 991 GT3 RS, 991 turbo S, Cayenne GTS, Macan GTS, Nissan GTR, 68 Camaro SS and a VW GTI.  Still yet to put a full size truck on it. We have a GMC 2500 but, it is so lifted, we don't need a lift

 

 If you want to put wider cars on it, make the 2002 about the narrowest car you put on it. So, the arms are close to full extension.  It makes it a little more shaky but, it doesn't go anywhere.

The Cayenne is close to 5000 lb. That was the question I asked before I purchased this lift.. The answer I received was that 5000lb was not a problem....with the equipment. I think the limiting factor is the concrete. At near full extension of the lift arms it would be close to what 4" of concrete with no reinforcement  would handle. If I were to repour a new floor for this purpose I would use 6" and add some rebar .
