I'm looking for a jack for lowered cars. The one that people told me to get from J.C. Whitney is too high.This is a jack that will be used on my other car also, which is lower than the Z. Thanks.

 

An alternative to buying a different jack is to get one of these

I use one of the aluminum craftsman speed jacks for my car. My car is lowered with Hotchkis springs and I have a Wald kit that drops the car another 1" where the jack would go behind the front tires.

To get my car up, I need to jack the rear up by the pumpkin, set the rear on stands and then jack up the front.

 

i'm too cheap so i use wooden boards+regular jack

 

These things ROCK!!

 

+1...i hate to say but it works

those ramps would be worth the money though...they look nice

 

What are dimensions on these?

 

+1

after seeing someone else do it, i went to home depot and grabbed scrap wood from their lumber section and screwed two pieces together to make two height levels...

heh heh...

 

I used 1x4s. 3 of them, stacked like jkoc described, the ends cut at a 60 degree angle. Drive my car up on them and then jack the front end. I even take them to the tire shop when I get new tires.

 

Yeah those $70 (+$15 shipping) Takata ramps are nice (I suppose), but nothing you can't do with free/cheap wood.

Another +1. Roll on the wooden boards then slide the jack under and go to town.

 

my car is so low i am barely clearing the 2 X 4's...also having some trouble with speed bumps. i use the wood ramps to roll up onto my other regular ramps.

the only purpose those small ramps would serve is to that you could jack up your car....not high enough to work under...at least thats how they appear in the pic.

i wonder what the dimensions are as someone else mentioned earlier

 

+1 on the wood blocks.
