Is your car lowered? My rear is slammed on coilovers. The jack wasn't able to reach deep enough for me.

You need ramps bro. Stack some 2x10 pieces of wood. I made a 2 step one for cheap.

oh thats why for sure. my car is stock suspension but the jack is a tight fit for stock. Youre going to have to drive up on some 2x4s to maybe go on some ramps then use the jack

My problem with the center jack points, particularly the front, is it is a pain to line up the jack with the jack points, especially with the car lowered at all. But unless I half try to crawl under the car, I have no idea if my jack is under the jack point or not. I decided it was quicker and more comfortable to use the frame rails just inside the jack points and do both sides. My only problem then is that jack stands are tight to get under there with a hydraulic jack already holding up the car. By tight I mean they are so close to the jack.
