I bought a set of Ksports from a distributor around the city and I will probably install them in a couple days.

My question is, how do you guys get a jack underneath your car lowered like that? A thinner jack I'm guessing?

start with a scissor jack to start it, then use ur floor jack...

or in a case where u cant find a scissor jack....

stick the floor jack (on the sides) where ever it fits, then push ur car (trying to tip it over)

while u kick ur floor jack closer to the destinated jack area.. haha i kno.. hella gheto but it works.

the slammed airbagged truck guys use this little air jack thing

it goes under the car (only needs about 1 inch) and uses compressed air to lift up the body its pretty cool

look into that
