My jack workflow:

Friend pulls car up --> slide oem jack underneath --> jack up about 1/2 inch --> slide low profile craftsman jack underneath --> jack to desired height.

Slammed and Nightrider, excuse my french, but how the he)) do you get around with your car slammed like that. Are they daily drivers? There is no way I could get away with that with all of the steep entrance ramps to all the businesses around here. I'm thinking about lowering my ride, but I have an expensive carbon fiber front and soon to add some feels side skirts, but I don't want to break anything.
i daily drive mine. and i love every second of it.. and i can only get a oem jack under it if theres a low spot on the ground

The jack I got from Costco is like the one above (one pictured is a Matco which sells for $399---lowest height is 2 1/2").

Mine is slightly over 3" which still requires me to drive over my wooden ramps.

I'm not sure if Costco still sells it, but it was a steal for $99.


ALTHOUGH my next jack is this...It looks exactly like the Matco one, but cheaper @ $270

I want to say I jack the car up with a fork lift but I can't. Lol. I'm sure there's a picture of it somewhere though.
I do this sometimes. If your car is too low to get forks under it, then its too low to drive

I need to read up on some Jack maintenance...

I bought this like $200 jack from pepboys. its super low profile and jacks the car up like 2 feet. heavy as shit, real heavy duty stuff, but jacking the car up is a work out gotta use all your strength and like 20 pumps to get it up.

Its not supposed to be that way, its supposed to be much easier to pump. I dunno if it needs fluid or whattt

this is it:
