Choices for what is wrong:
-New garage floor has a non-constant gradient making it more difficult to fit
-Old garage floor had a non-constant gradient making it easier to fit
-My car is F'ed up due to some cause
-I let the tread get too thin on my front tires

Suspension is gone. Time for a new one.

Actually, it's my garage floor. Backed it up a few inches and it's fine. Now for Spring maintenance... Pun unintended, but leaving it in because I can.

Also, new suspension does sound fun... But I can't... Must wait to be sure 2nd gen sucks or is not coming before that...

the world is spinning slower, increasing the gravity.

we're all more dense these days.

I suggest you get low profile wheels for your floor jack -

I get up to the dump and pull onto the scales and the scale house has all it's windows completely covered with plexiglass with these small holes in the bottom of the window. They need to look in the back of my box van to see what I have so they wait while I get out, and open the back door. They then have to shuffle around in their little office to make sure they all stay 6 ft away from each other so one of them can get out the door to look in the van. Then they make me get back into the box van and roll up my windows so it is "safe" for them to get out and look in the back. After they take a look they gesture to me that it is "safe" to roll down the windows. Then they attach a sticky note onto a broomstick and poke it out the tiny hole for me to show when I go to the exit scale. The whole time wearing gloves and masks. The guys directing people are doing no such thing and are wearing normal clothes.

I go through the exit scale and I have to show the lady in her protected plexiglass box the number on my sticky note. She then uses a claw to grab my credit card, process it, and give it back out of this little slot in the bottom of the window.

WTF

Hilarious in a weird way suitable for a Seinfeld episode. If you aren't already, consider screenwriting.

I'm not seeing the problem, just dig a hole in the dirt floor for the jack -

Is the dump privately run, or run by the government?

Mostly government. It’s county owned. The staff that runs the office and works around the grounds are county. All the drivers and yard boxes are subcontracted from one of the local garbage companies.

I started out looking for a slammed jack so he wins twice.
