I drive my car on ramps first then use the jack. Low profile jacks are the way to go if you plan to go lowered.

If they're low enough for your car, the lightweight aluminum jacks work well. If you use a jack a lot, however, they don't last all that long.
I use an AC Hydraulics DK13HLQ when a low-profile jack is required. It's a 3½" jack, and I really like that it can lift as high as I need (max of 29"): http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/...yd1-detail.htm. Not cheap, but you'll never buy another jack. |

Guaranteed can find this jack in states. Its Michelins Branded low profile jack. Not only is it super low profile but also a looong reach. Ive jacked cars even lower then mine which is 1.5" less then stock to ground with zero issue, it's fantastic!

Wow, that Michelin jack looks amazing. It's built for race cars!
Anyways, if you can't get your jack under the car, put your front axle on some wood board, then you'll be good to go. |

I bought this one, similar to michelin jack. I'm not lowered, and i'm glad i got this. Jacking up at the rear diff, the length really helps. It's HEAVY at ~97 lbs though, you'll only roll it around.

Not to rain on anyone's Harbor Freight parade, but you wouldn't catch me under a car only being held up by one (or two). Use jack stands after you get it up in the air. Of course, YMMV,

Absolutely agree. And for extra measure after the car is up on four 3-ton jackstands, I place the raised jack in light contact with the crossmember closest to the CG.

How are people minimizing damage to the "support positions" in the diagram? A puck with a groove?
