Slammed car question!

[justinlansdale]

To those who have slammed cars with very little ground clearance: how do you do your oil changes?

i can't get to the jack points in the front/sides of my car being that it's too low and i don't have access to a lift (not even sure if the lift arms would fit under the sideskirts anyway!).

[C-bass]

ride onto blocks and wood to get under there.

I have a really low profile jack that works, or you could roll onto some wood to raise the car up a bit.

[SvicksTc]

I just squeeze my way under i jack up both sides and use jack stands of course, please no never to just jack up your car....and once i get under i have enough room to manaouver...

[CarbonIS]

i pull onto blocks of wood.....that is when i'm not using the lift lol

[SvicksTc]

[IdriveBad]

I used to work the scissor jack underneath and lift it up enough to get the jack under it.

side skirts. arecco doesnt have much... and i can recall arecco used to have to get on wood.

same as everyone else said, drive it onto some 2x4's. And if thats not enough, drive onto one 2x4, then have 2 stacked in front of them and pull onto them.

[97TurboDSM]

i use 2x4's like everyone else and thats BARELY enough room.

I use the scissor jack that is with my spare tire, jack it up enough to get a regular jack under it.

[Honduh]

At home I have a low profile jack that just barley fits under my front crossmember. To get my car on a lift I have to have someone lift up on the fenders a bit or use a jack/boards.

[freebmx444]

or you can just be like me and not change the oil wait till it blows up then buy a new car!

[DPancoast]

lol this is why I never want to truly slam my car... too much work to change the oil lol.

[Scapegoat]

i'm not slammed... but i also don't have enough clearance on stock height on my srt-4 to get the jack under. i hit a jack point with the scissor jack that came w/ the car until i can get the jack under

[JSpecV03]

lol this is why I never want to truly slam my car... too much work to change the oil lol.

yeah, you'll spend more time just getting the jack in place rather than doing the actual oil change itself

[justinlansdale]

I'll probably use the board method on monday and see how that works out. thanks to everyone for your input.

[SvicksTc]

What kind of jacks are you using.....Mise well invest in a low clearence jack
