can you guys get a jack underneath your car if you want to work on it? I was thinking about getting a lowering kit but if i wanted to do something underneath the car my jack wouldnt fit if it was any lower.

I can get my low pro craftsman jack under there...Most people drive up on a 2x4 then jack it up.

I haven't had a problem getting my jack under the stang. But I rarely use a jack unless I have a flat! :D If we need under my car for anything else we put it up on the lift! :D

I need to use 2X4s to get onto my Rhino ramps.

My 3 ton jack (for working on the car) won't fit under unless I life it a little first by jacking it up a little with my smaller jack (for flats.) My larger jack gets it up much higher.

I use one of those little jacks to lift at the side, then i can get my bigger jack in at the front and under the cross-member.
The little jacks ok for oriental stuff and euro-boxes, but i'm not lifting the Stang with anything puny.
Lowering it certainly did'nt help as far as lifting it goes, if you catch my drift. ;)

i cant get my jack under my car. someone usually grabs the fender and lifts a little while someone else slides the jack under it. i have h and r springs. they are suppose to be a 2 inch drop.

yup! I do the same!


Mine BARELY clears lifts and the dealer where i am working right now. Sometimes they let me use the lift to do oil changes and stuff and I've had them work on my car before

its really not that hard. do it yourself if you have a spring compressor. make sure you order caster camber plates. also drive on the new springs 20-30 miles for them to seat. :drunk:

spring compressor ??? you dont need no stinkin spring compressor.

here's how you do it... we've lowered both of our cars with a similar method. mine was done at a shop on a lift (no spring compressor) and we did my daughters in the driveway. she helped so how hard can it be ;D

idid mine basically the sam way, and it took 3 and 15 minutes but we were taking our time...and some of the bolts were a PITA because they are so old...so pick up some PB blaster and a nice breaker bar...and i took my strut off from the steering knuckle instead f from the top, its a less PITA and i used the remove th eshock and quadshock method for the rear...
