Yup, that’s the problem.  

Lift points are about 16” too short for the 996, plus there’s one helluva lot of weiht on that rear lift section with a 996 unless you shift the lift CG back and then the car lift points are fragile.  More thought required there.

Leaks are fixed.  Changed to AN6 connections.  No leaks. 

Chris will probably end up with a 4-poster.  He has more headroom than I do.

Where I would like to use as lift points are the points right under the rear torsion bar end mounts (the cast iron parts that the end caps bolt to) and in the front, the front outside corners of the footwells, where the body bolts to the pan corners.  That would put the QJ just inside of the tires at the front and just ahead of the tire at the rear.  When I get some time I’ll get out there and play with it to see if I can get a better system for doing this.  It’s a good lift, but I haven’t used it enough to figure this stuff out fully (yet).
