Can you put the stock jack under your car?
I REALLY want to lower my car but I have the amuse sides and I had a flat2 weeks ago, it was barely enough clearance for the jack to slide in. I can't imagine my car being lower 1-1.5"
Do you have any plan if a flat happens while your driving? please shed some lights !!

If I get a flat:

Call someone I know with tools and a low profile jack to help change my tire.

I can not fit a jack under the sides of my car, I have to roll onto blocks, then I can slide the low pro jack under it.

Alternatively, I use 2 jacks. Place one on the rear diff, jack up to raise the car, slide the jack under the rear quarter and jack up from there, the front end will lift up.

It takes me 30+ mins to put my car on my lift. Most of the time I just leave it on the ground, it only goes on the lift for exhaust work.
