I did a search, but no one seemed to have the same problem. I wanted to jack my car up and set it on jackstands, but when I jack it up from the front, it does not go high enough to let me put jackstands on the sides. Do I just have to get a jack that goes higher or get smaller jackstands?

 

probably either/or. if your car is super low, you'll need a higher jack just to get it up. i have to jack mine all the way up to get it on my jackstands.

 

Maybe you just need a hydraulic jack that can take your car higher? :dunno: I have a hydraulic floor jack that came with stands and it brings up the car just fine.

 

I have the same ****in problem with the sears jack I use. Sucks!! And it just barely makes it under the jack point. Stupid $40 special!!!

 

You didn't pay for:fawk: And it works great for changing tires. You just need a couple pieces of wood to get the jack stands under it.

 

Never said I did:fawk: I said "use" focker. Oh and you can't put any wood under mine. To low

 

they make ramps that essencially 'jack' your car up. I plan on getting a set soon.

 

Could luck getting ur car onto themh:

 

Yeah...we had to push on your car just to get the jack under there...no stands for you.

Guess we need a nice hydraulic floor lift

 

If you want to scratch the living hell out of your front or rear end go right ahead.
