how do you jack up a low 86

[evil86]

hey guys. just got a simple question and like to see what other peoples answers are. Anyways i lowered my 86 yesteday and its sits to the ground, so i''ve decieded to raise the car up today but having trouble jacking the car off the ground as the car sits so low. whats the best way to jack up the car? How do you jack up your car? drive on bricks?

[Sam-Q]

planks of wood worked for me, otherwise even if you raise you car it's a good idea to invest in a low profile jack

[--Redwork--]

Go a low jack from trade tools... 65mm. WIN.

Easiest way to do it is to put a brick in front of one wheel and drive up onto it. Easy few cm clearance.

[Mr Awsome]

yeah driving up on wood, bricks, dirt mounds, jacking it up from one side then under the x member, burrowing out the gravel till its deep enough to go under.

[marvis]

Yep, for the front you can be dodgy and use RAD support (or tow hooks maybe), rear you can use tow hooks.

Hi All

I have some lowdown ramps to assist coming in my container.

Once you have driven up on them can use the jack like normal.

Will get pics up shortly

I have a set of my own at home already and very useful

cheers

get a low profile "racing" jack, had no issus, can jack anywhere NP. or you could make some ramp platforms out of some old sleepers or the sort

i sometimes just use my sizzor jack to get the car up a few cm (via jacking seem), then chuck the hyd jack under.

its usually only a problem on the front though us Ke's have plenty of room at the back to get the jack under the diff.

^^^ scissor jack then put proper jack underneith , my 86 has plenty of room , only ever had issues with jacking up my cressida.
