are there any secrets to jacking up your car? when i jack my car up i always seem to hit my side skirts and it sounds like its about to crack... and yes i try driving on wood and its still too low to get a clean LIFT... my car isn't even that low i wonder how the DUMPEDDDD cars get jacked up? also can you guys make it to LEXUS without raising your car up for an oil change or maintenance? thanks!

 

I made ramps out of stacked 2x10s. Jack rolls under like nothing so I can hit the front and rear jack points and use the floor pan seams for jack stands.

 

^+1. Or drive up Rhino ramps and jack it up.

 

i get my friend to lift my car as much he cant and i put some wood under and trhen fit the smallest jack i got lol

 

get a low profile jack..if not then use the hand jack and jack it up till you can fit a hydralic jack under it...iss a ***** but it does the job..

 

Drive onto a 2x4 and also use that 1/4 inch elevated garage entrance as a little bit of help to lift the front end more....

 

Sears sells a low profile hydrolic jack that is very handy.

 

2x4 and a low profile jack, either that or use the spare jack.

 

^^ exactly

use the spare jack that comes with your car first and then once its high enough put in the low profile jack

 

The jack hits my side skirts so i have to use my spare. Even the spare jack slightly hits. I usually jack up the rear by the diff but my exhaust is in the way now.

 

I use the stock jack to jack it up a little and then use my hydraulic jack. Ramps are too high for me

stack 2x4, then stock jack, then i use my hydraulic jack

 

what does everyone do when they need to take their ride to the dealer or mechanic for service? Do they use these techniques or allow you in the garage to do all this?

 

if your lowered and no body kit a low profile jack would be enough. (it was for me) but lowered and with a body kit 2x4 is a must. so yea get that wood.
