Need Floorjack for Lowered Mustang

I want to buy a new floorjack that can sneek under the front of my Eibach Pro lowered GT.

Anyone have any suggestions on a good jack to buy?

Thanks!

Mark

Buy a race jack/lopro jack from sears or wherever you buy your tools.

Go to Home Depot/Lowes, buy a 2X12 and have it chopped up into 2 foot sections. You can drive your car up on it, 2" step at a time, even put them in a stepped formation and make your own ramp for as high as you want to go. Even a 2" lift should get a regular jack under it.

I have 2 floor jacks. One is low pro and still won't fit. What I do is stick one under the stock jacking point on the rocker behind the front wheel, jack it up just enough to get the other under the front.

I went to autozone and bought a race jack for cheap... it's alluminum and fairly light, lighter than my steel 3 ton floor jack.

I'm lowered on pro-sport springs and with my rims/tire combo i can get the jack under the front or rear now....

try autozone adn get one, try it and if it dont work, take it back.

This is the jack I have, works great and will go all the way to the rear housing under my lowered car.
