Lowered with body kits?? Floor Jack??
Anyone with a Lowered F-Body & a full body kit (front valence, side skirts)??
How do you lift the car? Do you need a low profile floor jack?
Wouldn't you have thought by now they would have come up with something like a electric, or pneumatic powered floor jack?
Or that they would be everywhere by now, & cheap?

Use either plywood or 2x6's to make some ramps to drive on so you can jack up you car. I personally use both- a 'racing' style jack has a low nose on it making easy to get under most cars.

2x10's cut, tapered and stacked. In addition to getting the car off the floor to allow a floor jack under it, also makes it possible to use 10" ramps for heavy duty work.

If you do the above make sure the ramp portion are adjustable or cut to allow 2x10's under them- otherwise the ramp won't be stable on the ground or strong enough.
I know it seems silly but some people just starting out in auto work might not think about it...for instance- everyone saying jack stands under the axle are always the way to go..until you work on vehicle with a spring-under suspension and you are putting in new u-bolts.
