I have a question that may seem kind of dumb but here goes. I can barely get a jack under my car to change oil and do other things under my car, and im stock height right now. How do all of you lowered people raise and lower your cars? Your help would greatly appriciated.

it helps when you have a friend, cuz then they can lift up the fender while you slide the jack underneath.

Or drive your car onto a 2x4...or something to raise the car...

I no longer have my 99 rs because i totaled it!!!

I use a piece of wood, or anything i can find that i can drive up on.

Between the front tire and the side skirt I can usually geta jack under. When I worked on my car with an air lift we had to get 2 guys to left the car up a little so we could swing the bars under.

i took the cap off the jack and that gave me enough room to slide it under the car you just have to be careful best is to drive up on something like the other guys said it depends on what kinda ground you have to put the car up on if its pretty flat you shouldn't have too much of an issue

i can just barely slide my jack under the car. Pain in the ass to jack up from there. As soon as its as high as I can get it (look at other side of car and how my sideskirts are about to hit the ground) I throw my jackstands on. But it takes me like close to 40 mins to do all that. Like I said its really hard to jack it up with my skirts in my way.

"We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war; our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very , very pissed off"

I take the cap off my jack, to slide it under my bumper, then put it back on underneith the car.

You can also use that spare tire sissor jack to raise it enough to put a real jack under it.

i use the spare tire jack uder the front passenger seat behind the front tire to lift the car up then i slide the floor jack in under the front, all done in like 5min

yup what ^^^ said. i use a scissor jack to lift the car like another 2 inches or so, then i can slide the floor jack up under there and that's it.
