How do you jack your cars up? I've been thinking about getting one of those godhand lips, but then I raised up my front end to check out a little rattle, and my floor jack BARELY fits under the fully raised car as it is! How do you guys with lips raise your cars?

drive the car on some 2x4 and then put the jack under

I feel dumb for not thinking of something that simple...

I just raise my cars air suspension a the way and never have a problem really getting on a lift or using a floor jack.

But 2x4s when needed if the above doesn't work

Also using a slim low floor jack instead of a reg old floor jack

I use jack pads at the factory lift points.

Get a race style jack. Good ones are barely a few inches high...

C_DirtyTwo

you know of a relatively cheap place to get one?

Your local NAPA or Autozone, Orielly or whatever you have near you.

chiromikey

harbor freight has a couple decent jacks look for item #61282.it's 50% off right now.it as low as 2 3/4" and goes 20" high.i've had mine for over 2 years and use it 3-4 time a month.stay away from their light weight aluminum ones.they don't last long and the wheels are junk.

2x4s, low-pro ramps, low-pro jack

But then you can't put jack stands at the factory lift points...

There are lift pads on the bottom directly under those ports.

I typed floor jack when I meant jack stands; apologies. If you put a floor jack at the lift point to raise the car, then you can't put a jack stand there once the car is raised.
