You just have to look around for arms that come out of the ground.

use 2 2x4's and drive on them and it will raise your car 2" or just use a jace and jack the car up put the lift on it and do it tha way

yeah, my height is just about right to fit in the large roller jack under my engine, had to put 2 x 1 foot stoppers at my side arms, remove the roller jack to get under my engine bay lol

I have use my stock Toyota jack just to raise it up to get the better jack under it.

i agree, if you dont have the wood (hehe) then just use the stock jack. we've done it on x-evil-x's car and his is probably the lowest of the low

i use this...even though my car isnt' low enough, this is the only jack i've got. 4 pumps and it's fully extended, lol

i have a "lowrider" jack and it still hits my front lip. so i just use the jack that came with the car to raise one side an inch or two. then slide the 4ton under there.

my stock jack doesnt even fit under my car

[spidalegz_2002]

well i'm sure it would if you tilt it on its' side and then raise it up where it is suppose to go ;)

I drive up on old brake rotors because I dont fit on a lift in any position. I have no body kit either.

i'm in the army and i don't have any 2x4 so i use sand bags. i drive right up and i'm good to go

I had the same problem with my first celica. I just took a board of wood and made ramps. 1 inch thick, start with 1 foot board on bottom, 3/4 foot 2nd layer, and 1/2 foot 3rd layer, fits perfectly behind the seats too for easy storage :)

drive up on em then stick a jack under, mine was so low i had to do the ramps, then emergency jack, then my real jack
