Default Have a question about raising my car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to start changing my oil by myself, but I wanted to raise my car but its lowered so the tires in the back would probably scrape against the body. I was thinking of getting these ramps so i could drive my front two wheels onto it. How do you raise your vehicle if its lowered?

Drive your front tires on to a couple 2x4's. then you should be able to get a jack under there.

Either 2x4's or a scissor jack to get it high enough for a regular jack. Then jackstands from there.
