Custom CLK / 05 E500 4matic / 04 Acura TL <<Daily
Put 4 small 2x4 studs on each wheel and drive till your car is standing on them you should have enuff space to get the jack under and do what you have to do.

Get an aluminum racing jack such as this from Costco for only $100.




Avoid the ones made by Craftsman and Harbor Freight, since I've read stories about the seals leaking prematurely.

I usually just use the factory jack to jack one side up, set it on a jackstand, and repeat for the other side.

The factory jack will not work on lowered cars. The crank will get stuck on the way down.
