I need a jack that will fit under my lowered car that has a body kit. I need one of the kind that has wheels and a lever that you pump up and down to raise the car and then turn the lever to drop it. I dont no what the name of those kind of jacks are, I have one already....it just will not fit under my car any more since its lowered and has the body kit. thanks

why waste money on a new jack, or a superslim? what i do is take the stock one and jack up just enough to get the bigger jack in...

Get 2 short pieces of 2x4, drive onto them when you want to jack up the car. Instant height increase. :)

um...or you could be lazy and buy a new jack and skip all the trouple of 2 by 4s and what not. spend a couple hundred bucks to get a good jack that will last a life time.

Just use your stock jack then stick some jack stands under there.

Ramp's won't work,atleast the ones I have won't.The jack is a floor jack and it can be bought at almost any car parts store.

Shop around to find one that has a very low height when all the way down. I remember hearing that Cosco has one that fits the bill for relatively cheap.

You need the jack AND the lambo doors so that you can do this:

See problem solved. That's why this was brought to OT. They would have just bantered on forever in GD.

i wouldnt waste the money, the jacks that are low enough to get under a lowered car are wimpy and cant support much weight. its hard to jack the car up with one ive got one, but mine is a 'racing jack' so its super light weight 2 so maybe thats why its weak. i use the regular one n drive up on wooden blocks. neways just my 2cents

Here is a better and cheaper one (http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=47246)

I see so many that it must be "the choice" of autocrossers
