Help please.
I have put lowering springs on my car (wow it looks so much nicer) and I have a 3" exhust system, now the problem. I cant fit the jack under the passsie behind the wheel cat gets in way cant go infront of wheel airdam gets in way. Drivers side not as bad cause no exhust but still pretty tight. Ramps dont fit under fron anymore air dam takes care of that. So anyone else have this problem, I am not using a big jack just a a 2 ton floor jack. New jacking tips will be appreciated.

This thing needs a spell check.

 

Drive up on a couple of 2x6's to get yourself the extra room.

Get yourself a set of subframe connectors.

 

I think my car is at stock ride height but i can't fit a regular jack underneath it either. I use the jack that comes with the car first (the scissor one behind the spare tire) and then use a regular jack and take the small one out. And when i lower it I lower the regular jack onto the small one and then lower the regular jack all the way and put the car down the rest of the way by the scissor jack.

 

Mine i lowerd 2".... set up 2x6s in a stacked patter and bingo you go your self room from the front....

Like that.....roll on it from the right to the left....see what i meen.

 

I drive up on two of those solid cement blocks. They are about 4" high, I put a brick in front of them to go up easier. It works for me, I'm sure the wood will work too.

 

Just a$$ up the money and get a Snap-On lowboy 2 ton jack

 

ya, its hard getting a jack under the car, i can barley get mine under with it rubbing on the exhaust, but then with the jack at its maximum position under the passenger side frame rail, the freaking jack stands wont fit under there unless i take the y peice out of the jack stand and let the car rest on the stand without it, pisses me off.

I use a little "bottle" jack on the spot where the lower a arm meets the subframe. There's a little shallow hole there just right for the top of the jack. I screw the top out just enough to get the jack out too.
A couple little pumps and then I can get my jack under. I love the way My T/A looks with the 1 1/2 inch drop the Eibach's Pro-Set gave it.

I also have a set of steel ramps that I got at Auto-Zone that have ramp extensions. Hope this helps.

The best jack for our cars (especially if you dont want to spend the money on the lowboy jack) is the factory scissor jack from a 88-98 full size chevy truck! I use it all the time to jack my car up just enough to get my big 2 1/2 ton jack under the car. I've used it to jack up my buddy's car (lowered 1 3/4in ) 92 Z-28
