Jack up!
What do people use for a floor jack for this awesomeness? My trusty Sears floor jack won't fit under the front.
Love an excuse to buy a new tool... |

I just bought this today at harbor freight. I just got a Jeep and my other jacks wouldn't go high enough but it fits under the Camaro too. So now I have 3 floor jacks, hopefully I wont find some weird scenario that requires another one

A Torin Big Red Jack fits under the Camaro, 5000lbs max 18-1/8 ma lift and 4" low depending how low you have your car. It's a combo steel/aluminum jack, fairly light weight. I love mine!

Build some ramps, then put whatever you want under it. Honestly it's the safest way to go. I had one of those harbor frieght specials fail on me jacking the car up, just as I was positioning the jack stands. If the car hadn't already been on ramps I'm not sure I'd be here to type this response.

Drive up on some short pieces of 2 X 10's, most jacks will work.

Picked up a lowpro jack on www.northerntool.com about a month or so ago. Works very well.

I just purchased some Trax Jax Race Ramps from Summit Racing. Car is dropped 1.25" and I couldn't get my lift arms under the car. Problem solved with these ramps. The ones I got are low profile and lift 3". Drive up on them, place lift arms and BAM.....ready to rock and roll!
