ok i just lowered my car now i tried to get a jack under it today and no go, i have to change my oil tomorrow and i can't get my car off the ground. what do you guys do?

 

either buy a low profile jack or buy some ramps.

ghetto way is to get some wood and lay it down on the ground drive up on the wood and jack it up that way. Make sure you keep the wood under when u lower it or you won't be able to get the jack out.

 

2x4 works wonders for me

 

i thought about doing the wood thing but was not sure if there was not any craftier idea the wood will work tomorrow. Where can i find a low profile jack?

meaning: drive your car onto some 2x4's before you try to jack it up.

 

Im thinking your trying to get your floor jack under there and if thats the case just try raising it up a little with your stock twisty jack & then slide the bigger one under

 

when I had my accord it was pretty low and I dont know how low you car is but if there is another person there just grab the wheel well and pull up while the other person slides the jack in and if there is not another person 2x4

thats what i have to do...its a pain in the *** though, because i don't have a floor jack, just a scissor and jack stands, so i can only get one side up at a time.

 

drive over some woods or have friends lift from the fenders or use a stock floor jack

= bent fenders.

Just use wood or bricks.

depends on the ramps i guess. my car is stock height and i cant get it on the ramps that i have without screwing up the bumper

ditto, I gotta do this and my car isn't even that low...

Bigjon, shorter ramps especially made for lower cars, not the taller ones that you're thinking of

 

Why not use your oem spare tire jack,that always works for me
