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?

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...)

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.
