Jacking up your lowered car
How do all of you DIY jack up your lowered car. I have one jack that I had to take the front wheels off to get it to fit and my car is not slammed by any means. Aside from that. Can I jack up the car in the front to fit a jack stand in the right place? No room for jack and stand. Second. If i get the front high enough I am weary of the jack stand becuase of the steep angle it hits it at. I wish they made portable electric lifts that were not to expensive. For all 4 jack points. Let me know how you guys get this done.....
thanks
thanks

well whenever i work on my tegi or my friends civic which is more lowered than my car, best thing to do at times is to take off the front bumper, than place an jack underneath, lift it up than place 2 jack stands in the front, we sometimes do the same to the rear depending if it is necessary, have at least 4 jack stands...
Raise the car up. Before when my car was really low, I had to use the spare tire jack on the front side jack point in order to get the main jack underneath the front. Now that I am about 1" lower than stock height, I can fit the jack and the dish underneath the front easily.
The jack stands are fine to put on with the angle of the car how it is when fully lifted. Just block the rear tires and make sure the jack stands are centered on the jacking points and you will have no problems.

I used the cheap orange harbor freight jack without the white cup on it...worked fine for me.
