i don't use jack points! haha didn't even know they existed. but check this out. the jack has a groove on it especially made for the frame part at the bottom. it's right behind your front mudguard underneath the fender. you can stick your jack there. i've had no problems of any sort happen.

Just put some boards on the ramps to make them a slighter incline or put your ramps at the top of a slope. Removing the front bumper is a bit extreme every 3000 miles. Our cars don't do ramps well.</div>

I'd have to use 30-40 feet of boards to get my car up a set of ramps with the bumper thats on it........

Once you do it often enough, it just becomes a routine. I can have it off in less that 3 minutes.

Don't you have problems with the #@$# front bumper clips (screws in that top metal strip) not unscrewing out properly or breaking all the time? I have to go at it with a flathead screwdriver, because the screws just turn in place because they are not real "threaded" holes...

Yeah, I usually just pop them up enough to grab them with pliers....I know its not the greatest way to do it, but its simple.

Im not sure what you guys ae talking about ramps not working with clearing the car. I have intrax springs which are a little over a 2 inch drop. Today I changed my oil using ramps and didnt scrap one bit. So maybe you gotta chack the ramps before you buy them, but I had no problem getting the car up on them and no problem getting under the car.

some people have 2 inches of clearance from the ground.

I would be one of those people nana.gif

Added some pix of floor jack/jackstands and a hydraulic ramp lift. still to come- hydraulic armature lifts.

Is there any standard way to raise your vehical when you have a lowered body kit on the vehical, or is it just one of those things you have to work around?

Rixshark

I can get the stock jack under my bodykit. I just turn it sideways, slide it under, the turn it right side up again. Once its up high enough to get a better jack under it, then I do so.

I guess that would qualify as both being able to jack up a lowered car with a body kit, AND having to work around it.
