low profile Jack for lowered cars
 

I've been struggling working with my lowered car. It's a pain in the butt to do anything, especially trying to raise the car up.

I have a low profile jack but it's too short and does not go too far underneath the car.

I found something that is low and long to reach far underneath the car. It's about 2.5" tall too.

it's for 280 dollars. Anything else like that out there?

That's a waste of money bro...just get some 2by2 woods and drive ur car on them whenever u wanna work on ur car.. save urseft some money..:thumbup:

Contact Elite Auto Style. They have low car ramps. Not sure if they still carry them..

How high is this? is it long enough for the front bumper to clear before the wheel can get on it?




2x4...then raise it up? I've done that,too much trouble. Maybe I'll get something longer and wider and cover more area to drive onto it. Two pairs for each wheel would do it.. square shaped :) or maybe just for the two front wheels. hmmm... thanks, for the suggestion. Now, I'm thinking it doesn't have to be a 2x4 :)

you can cut the ends to a 60 degree angle and join them together. i did that for my slammed down VW when i was a teen and it worked great. Even put a raised piece of 2x2 at the end so you know your car is full on top like a small bumb stop kinda thingy for when nobody is there to spot you. 10 bucks tops..

I don't remember how high up they are but i think its close to 4 inches. Contact them and see if they can get you the specs.

Sam, I have that low profile jack. It works wonders when other jacks can't get the job done lol.

Yeah, looks very convenient.... reminding others to not forget to put up the jack stand.

2 x 12's work great. You can either bevel cut the end or just drive up on them. It is a bit easier if they're cut. Make sure you're safe, though, and put a couple of bolts in the floor so they can't spin out.

If you stagger them about 18 inches, you can give yourself 3" of lift once you're on them. Then you can get a conventional jack under it, put a couple stands under, and do whatever you need to do. Just remember to drive back off slowly. Flat concrete + flat board = spin spin spin. (don't ask me how I learned this from my friend who fired them into the bench...)

we got our low pro jack at costco..it was like $95..my front bumper is about 3.5in. off the ground and it fits..how low are you?

My friend let me borrow his jack(lo pro) which I was able to get underneath my car when it was fully layed out(bags)

check out harbor freight if there is one near you. they have a good selection of low profile jacks under $100

Wow. Really? That's cool. I was thinking of getting a low profile jack myself. $285 is too much, but the Costco one for $98 would be something I could afford.

^ its a good jack man, no probs whatsoever and im using it alot!

...look it up they go for about double anywhere else

to the OP, im selling the same jack you posted. Check the general classifieds for my post
