Stock Jack plus lowered is no good

[R_Ethug]

Tonight i felt like trying to put my 18s back on.. well the stock jack blows for being lowered.. it fit underneath fine but when i started to jack it up it must have been slipping because i couldn't get the damn wheel to lift up just the body of the car which was really annoying!! so i went to undo it and the dumb handle on it was so low to the ground i had to kick it to release it.. so i guess i have to wait for derick to get back lol or go to walsmart and buy myself a decent jack.. i mise as well not bother carrying the spare/jack in my trunk cuz it'll never work to get it on lol

Yeah, I need to make me some of those ramp things that Derick has.

Ryan, if you need to borrow a floor jack give me holla.

I bought my jack/stand set at canadian tire for $60, comes with nice hydrolic jack and two 2.5ton stands. Wouldnt trust my car with the stock jack, I bent the underside of my last golf using it.

But you might want to get the "low profile jack", same price as above, but you dont get jackstands.

Re: Stock Jack plus lowered is no good

This is the same jack I have. Fits nicely underneath the sideskirts. Kinda wish it was a little more heavy duty though, but for $60 it's alright.

As far as the stock jack is concerned, it's garbaage. I don't trust them at all. We actually dropped Ozzie's car once using them ....wasn't a pretty sight.

Re: Stock Jack plus lowered is no good

well i tried outside on my driveway and it worked great today! my garage has dirt/rocks from winter and last night the jack musta been slipping on them.. today on clean cement it worked great.. took 1 hour for all 4.. crappy part was stock bolt wrench didn't fit into my RH's so i used an extension and my mastercraft wrench/socket to do it.. no idea how much i torqued them tho.. i did them snug then 1 push extra to make sure they were all good.. went for a nice rip onto crowchild and man i love the looks lol
