And its pain, because my Roush front is hanging so low that I first have to drive up on 2X8, then jack up from side frame, then slide another 2X8. repeat the process on other side so that now I have enough room to use my floorjack from front of the car.
takes 10 min just so that floor jack will slide under the car and won't hit anything .

And then i saw some highschool punk in Neon drive by with those fugry "shogun" kit on it. I used to lough at those yahoo. But now that i think about it, If i had those shogun kit with stupid looking cutout in lip like they do, I wouldn't have to do all this crop just to use my jack...

Sounds like an excellent plan. Unless you have lowering ball joints/drop spindles and offset rack bushings your car is probably unsafe to drive anyway. A small puddle or some loose gravel will own you.

I hate to break it to you, but I have FRPP C springs, and I have to drive it up on blocks first to get a jack underneath it

Sounds like you need to get yourself some "rhinoramps" or make your own out of wood. Forget the floor jack on that thing...

use the little knuckle buster/screw jack that came in the back of the car first. postion it a little off to the side on the jacking point right in front of the oil pan. that will let you raise it enough to get the big jack in there. my car sits very low in front, so i know exactly how you feel. this way is quick, and easy.

I have 4 of them. I don't like using jackstand for some odd reason. I use floor jack first to get it on the ramp..

i would if I have one. My car never came with it. By the time i realize i don't have one, it was like 1.5 year after i bought the car, and dealer wouldn't give me one..
