just got a flat tire... have a ???

UNKNOWN_370 · 01-15-2012, 03:29 PM

So my rear passenger popped a hole and I have a slow leak. No worries thanks to tire guard. I will just get it repaired or replaced tomorrow. Now I put the jack under. I have one of my own. A higher quality GM jack. I barely had 3/4" of clearance. Now if I lower my car an inch or more? How do I get a jack under it? What jack would be suitable for a car that low?

The OEM jack? Mine has a lot of clearance and I'm lowered.

Low profile jacks work fine unless your slammed? in which the stock jack can raise it enough for the low pro jack to fit

You need a low profile jack like this one: Omega Blackhawk Low Profile Professional Service Jack — 2-Ton Capacity, Model# 29023 | Floor Jacks | Northern Tool + Equipment
