OT-Anybody w/ springs, and ground effects have trouble jacking up their car?

[deadly97snake]

I have a xenon ground effects kit and BBK 1.5" lowering springs. I hate it when I gotta put it up on jack stands because I have to use my spare tire jack then when one side is up I can finally fit the 2 ton jack I have under the front end. I put the front on jack stands then go to the rear. I have to use my spare tire jack on the rear and do the same process.

Does anybody know of a better way to do this or a place that sells a jack for lowered cars?

Have you tried to drive up on two pieces of wood so that the body of the car can raise up, then jack it up.

take some 2x12 lumber, cut them into 16" pcs....put a 45 deg cut on one end...stick em in front of your tires, drive on and it should be at jack height...

much cheaper than a jack.... Im almost to the point where if I lower mine anymore I'll have to do the same just so I can get my lift arms under it...

Yeah I got 2 in lowering kit on mine it was on there when I bought it so I'm gonna leave it but I don't think I would ever do that to a car. To much of a pain in the ass to work on. I can't fit under the stupid thing unless I jack it up and I gotta use a scissor jack to do that cause my floor jack don't fit and when i do jack it up I try not to go up to high cause it starts making weird noises in the rear so I just fit under it and if I turn my head I hit the underneath of the car. If it ever falls i'll be smashed, and before i got my exhust fixed it was scraping on everything.

I was gonna do the wood idea some what i was gonna make my own ramps but haven't gotten around to it yet cause the normal ramps don't work either

I don't even have a bodykit or anything and it's a PITA to lift my car. When I was doing my h-pipe the other day I went to jack up the front, and then couldnt get the back up. Tried the back, the front was to low then. I had to lift the back, then jack up the front from behind the front-right wheel enough to get some jackstands under it, then i jacked up the front some more, and threw some more jackstands under it. but it was worth it, in the end the whole car was about 2 ft off the ground. made the h-pipe real easy
