haha such a ghetto ramp

 

another thing I've done if I want the car up on all 4 jackstands is to jack up one side and then put a long 2x4 on top of two jack stands, aligned with the formed 'rails' in the floorpan. You wouldn't want a single jackstand on that structure as it will bend, but with the 2x4 along the entire length it distributes the weight.

Do this for each side and it's a cinch, and there's no difficulty with the jacking/point jackstand interference.

 

Got a better solution, wise guy???

 

i use that too... but mines a "2step" and not 3. i thought thats how its normally done?

maybe wise guy uses the $300 ones from J's racing?

 

$300 2x6s? That JDM lumber must be really good stuff.

 

does anyone know a jack that is long enough and low enough to just jack the car up from the front without having to drive it on those things?

 

You'll need this if you want to reach the front jacking points.

AC Hydraulics makes the best, but it's quite expensive:

This one from Ranger should work:

One Ohio S2000 owner purchased an Omega jack that had a low profile and high lift, but I forget the model number.

Disclaimer: I use an old (older than most members on this forum) Hein-Werner O'Boy that reaches the front jack point if I lift up on the bumper to unload the suspension a little bit. So I have no personal experience with any of the jacks I've referenced. But you should be able to use a tape measure to determine what jack will reach the front jack point on your car.

 

these are the kind of answers i was looking for, thx guys

 

The basic harbor freight racing jack works fine on stock height. Even lowered almost 1" (and no lip) can still get in there. Always jack up the front first...if you do the rear first the front will be too low. I've also gotten into the habit of driving the rear tires onto scraps of 2x8 (or 10) so I don't have to worry about hitting the exhaust piping with the jack handle when raising or lowering the rear.
