Raising the car...

So, i just got the BC coilovers put on and they're way too low for my taste and im planning on raising it tomorrow. My question is, anyone have trouble getting a jack under the car? I was looking at it and it might not fit. Any suggestions? should i just take it to the place i had it installed and have them raise it? Thanks!

^^LOL....I had a little bit of an issue getting my jack under there after my first drop (which was a little too low). I just put down a couple 2X4's down and drove up on them then put the jack under and raised the car. Or you can pay to have a shop do it and not sweat it. GL though.

^^Uhg if you are using a OEM jack to jack your car up take it to a shop. That shizzit takes forever. I have a floor jack and that would not fit but just barely.

all ideas would work,

I used to use a smaller jack (if you have one) and then the big one then stands to keep car safe. If you don't have small one, then CAREFULLY drive onto some 4x4 to raise it up, lastly you can buy some little ramps to drive on and that will solve all your problems.

Take some pics of your baby slammed.
