  • Super low car jack

    Anyone got one? What's the lowest slung jack you have found as having to jack the car with scissor jack to get a normal jack under it is a pain!

    Cheers

    No.


    Ive got air jacks instead

    That arent even plumbed in yet



    I think the low alloy ones with the 'roller' on the front instead of wheels are a royal pain to use unless you have a nice flat surface

        Ben get some of the padding they use on the floors of Horse trucks. The stuff is about 1.5inch thick and weighs nothing.

        I am luck as i have an old 6 ton jack of my dads that goes low enough to fit straight under a cossie diff. I only have to use the above method when jacking up the front.

                  I used these for the 911 and also for the ESCOS.
                  Camper van leveling ramps . Small compact and made of HD PLastic. Drive the car one wheel or 2 onto the ramps and use an normal jack.

                            So your going to cart a Jack arround in the back of the car instead
                            I thought this was so you could jack the car up at home.
                            The plastic ramps are designed to be carted arround in a camper so as to level up the camper on a hilly field
