Jacks and lowering springs, Stock jack works if you have a flat and are lowered? Options

[jess_i_74]

Hi all,

Well, I'm missing my jack. I have been for quite awhile. Obviously, it'd be nice to have a jack if you had a flat. Has anyone actually had a flat and not been able to get a jack under their car? I have a 1.75" drop and stock 15" alloys. Any help/information/good jack links/ideas would be appreciated. And if you have a jack that you've pulled from a car you've parted out, I might just buy it if I get favorable responses that it might work.

Oh BTW, ground clearance at front lift point is . . . about 4 3/4", IIRC.

Are lowered cars are like Ferraris: you just get a special tow truck if they break down?

It sucks not to have a jack, but you can buy one for cheap at your local Auto store.

P.S I stop jacking from the sides and actually jack from underneath the engine frame or the rear crossmember. Then I take a jack stand and stand them at the sides. Its not that hard.

I couldnt fit my jack with my car, but had a friend to lift up on the fender. The jack was kind of tall tho.

thats why I had to go with bags... It was so frustrating to go jack the back up. then take another and jack the side, then take the jack out and go to the front....

plus trying to get on lifts at shops... UGG

They Make / You can buy riser blocks that you just drive up on, you can even make them in stages so you can get about 8" in the air.
