Service jack question

Does anyone know the distance from front bumper to the front-center jacking point on a sedan with the aero package?

Im curious if the Arcan jack at Costco can reach from the front and lift the whole car at once, or if the "reach" on the jack is too short.

Thanks.

Hi Chris,

I have this jack and if I recall correctly, the lift point should be reachable, however, in the case it is not, all you need is one other jack to temporarily lift the car a few inches from one of the side jack stand points and then you'll be able to slip the costco jack down the center there no problem. I would recommend, however, getting an aluminum jack over an iron one since there will be a very significant weight reduction. The aluminum one is a lot better if you plan to move it around a lot between locations, otherwise the costco one is pretty solid.
