This may seem like a stupid question, but...?

After yall lower your cars, how do you jack them up to do things like oil changes and stuff that requires you to get under them?
Reason I'm asking is cause there's a group buy on H&R springs I think I'm going to buy into, and I have a hard enough time getting a jack under my car at stock height!

I'm lowered 2'' and I can still get my 3 ton floor jack under there. They make special jacks for lowered cars though.

mine fits but barely, just look for a low down jack, they sell em for that purpose

I use the jack that came with the car to raise it up a bit and then I jam the floor jack under it and raise it the rest of the way.

All I do is to put some 2X4's under the tires. Like drive up on them you know. That does the trick most of the time

yeah..I always had to drive up on some wood...bricks..rocks..whatever I found on the street pretty much..haha..that was b/c I had to park in the street and didnt really have anywhere to store anything ;) but yeah...it can be a major pain in the ass to do little things when your car's dumped :( but definitely drop it!

I just put the jack next to my car & open the door & lift, then slide the jack under the car with my foot.
