Re: what jack for a lowered car (96_civ)

my ghetto way of doing it...

drive up on a board, gives you just enough space to fit the big jack under neath!!!

I just set a 1 inch thick board behind my wheels then hop in the car and release the E-Brake and as soon as the car rolls backwards on top of the board, I yank the brake.

Even tho im on a slanted driveway i still have to use my left foot to push my car backwards. light *** thing, cant even roll over a 1 inch board.

Habor Freight have the aluminum jacks that will work. I have a < 4" clearance in the front due to the CF Lip. The jack clears it with no problem.

I took the board trick a step further and made 2step'd versions for each side...theyre actually pretty neat and the suv jack fits easily then

Re: what jack for a lowered car (96_civ)

Yeah, the board way is how most of us do it to get a jack underneath the front jack support. Can't recommend an easier solution than that.

Re: what jack for a lowered car (EG_Civic_GSR)

I just roll up on a phone book, and throw the jack under there. Ruined a couple but they were old, free, and work great everytime.

Pull out the stock jack and get the car high enough for you to slip your dads jack underneath.

I have one. If you have 3" of ground clearance it will work.

ditto...nothing beats the oem one. my car is lowered 3" and its not a problem putting the jack wherever.

i dropped my car 3.5" in the rear and the jack still works.

nothing fancy just works great
