Does anyone know who makes the jack with the lowest clearane? I've been looking at the local stores (walmart etc) and cannot find anything under 6in.

 

Yes thats exactly what im saying and also I have a LIFT meaning I need the 4 jack points on the side frame to get my car up. I guess there isnt a way to get the car up unless im using jacks. Using a lift is so much easier though when working under the car

 

I want to see pics of your kit SpeedXRacer when you are done. Congrats on the GpSports. Did you get the whole kit?

 

Hope you don't get a flat out on the road somewhere. Of course having about 70 lbs. of jacks in your trunk may help control the rear end a bit.:-)

 

Why not just use the frame rails instead of the perimeter jack points?

I just used them the last time I had to pull all four wheels off. Someone else had suggested it in a thread I read, and it worked great. Now I use the frame rails for jack stand placement instead of trying to fit a jack stand and the jack side by side.

I have seen a service guy jack up someone in the middle of the rear wheels just to get the arms of those lifts up. Is this safe?

 

Sure, the rear diff is also a jacking point.

The problem is alot of floor jacks aren't low profile enough to slide under there. Even if it does clear, pumping the handle can be difficult. Depends on the jack.

 

I would agree with most of the above comments. For me its an every week thing. Just drive up on some 2x4s and that will allow some clearance for your stock jack or a 2 ton. Thats what I use. Very easy and simple.

 

You don't need to do it on those 4 "jack points" on the very side. There are MANY acceptable jack points on the car. Look for frame rails, suspension mount locations, or anything stationary or that won't collapse. Just make sure you get the car mounted properly on the lift, with the CG as close to the main support beams as possible. It's a good idea to lift the car so that the tires just leave the ground, then bounce up and down on the bumper, and don't do it all girly. Bounce it hard, as though you're trying to get the car to fall off. If it seems unstable, relocate the car or arms. At 6in off the ground, it won't do much damage to fall; at 6ft it'll destroy the car and possibly kill/injure you and others.

You shouldn't condemn a lift simply because the arms don't fit under the body kit. The minor setback from manually lifting the car with a floorjack, to provide clearance for the lift arms, is not nearly enough to negate the advantages of the lift. It'll only take a few minutes to jack up the rear end (diff) and the front end (core support or subframe).

 

Thanks for the advice guys! Ill be sure to post pics and no I didnt get the whole kit, I didnt get the front bumper .
