Default Recommended Floor Jack

my CL is pretty low and every floor jack i use wont fit under the jack point unless I or a friend of mine has to lift up the car by rear and front fenders. do any of you guys use floor jacks that can fit under lowered cars without having to lift up the car.

There are low to the ground jacks. You just have to look for them.

drive the car up onto wood, two 2x4's stacked up for each side is usually enough to allow the jack under, its what my buddies do anyway.

either use wood to drive up on or get a low profile jack. I bought an all aluminum jack years ago, it works great and only weighs something like 32 lbs.

I bought a Bluepoint 'racing' jack. Its made out of aluminum, and it has a minimun height of 3.25 inches, so its pretty low, but it still goes as high as 19 3/4". Plus it came with 2 Stands that are also aluminum. Almost worth the 450$.......almost
