what Jack stand will fit under our cars
Hey guys i'am planning on doing all the maintenance stuff my self at home, oil changes, and spark plug change etc, I was wondering what kind of jack will fit under neath my car, I measured the car to be 7inches off of the ground, so let me know.
for me, it's not a matter of it not being low enough, it's that it's not long enough. The entire jack needs to fit under the car. I have to use a smaller, cheaper jack to use one of the side jackpoints, then I can fit the big floor jack underneth. But if you want a jack that will do it without any extra hassle, it's going to cost a lot of money ($600+)
I have the bigger (still only 2 1/2 ton I think) size of floorjack from Autozone. What is the brand, MVP or something like that? It was about $50. Fits perfectly under the car and I am able to use my large jackstands with it. I would recommend getting the smaller sized stands though. For me to get a jackstand up front I have to lift the car so high that the rear wheel on the same side comes off the ground a couple inches.

I cut 4 2x4 blocks 8 inches wide(depending on tire size of course). I use 2 to chalk the back tires and use the other 2 to drive the front wheels on top. Then Iam able to get the regular hydro jack under neath it and its a piece of cake from then on.

) the front tires on to a chunk of 2x6. Gives plenty of clearance for a stadard floor jack.
