H&R spring installed can't Jack the car up?
Anyone know how jack the car up when I have H&R sport spring installed? I have 2 regular Craftsman jack. Beside the 4 corner plastic, is it another jack point?

Easiest thing to do... just pull up on the wheel well or some other solid part of the car and slide the jack underneath. You should be able to lift the car up an inch or so to slide the jack in.

Actually, I have the craftsman floor jacks too and I went to Harbor frieght and bought their crappy $39.00 plastic 8,000 (lol) lb. car ramps. I roll onto the ramps then get my jack underneath then jack it up, pull the ramps and put my jack stands on. works fine and it is SAFE. The Harbor freight ramps are really long and minimal incline so should work even if your pretty low. Check em out, and if they don't fit, Harbor usually will take anything back as so much of their crap breaks when you pull the tape off the package opening it. (I know they have that $60.00 jack too but I'd rather use my Craftsman jack)

Yeah there's a harbor freight in North county. What are you going to do? Did you install the springs yourself? I just got a set of H&R Race springs and was going to install them. You have any experience with that, an extra hand would be nice.
