In trunk Car Jack w/ Tein SS

I'm surprised no one has talked about this before!

I'm sitting pretty low on Tein SS. I tried jacking up my car today (non-emergency reason) and I quickly realized neither of the car jack's I keep in my trunk will work. The Acura-in-trunk jack and the one I purchased a couple of years ago won't fit under the car.

So, my question is what kind of jack do you guys keep in your trunk that actually will fit under a lowered car?

Just drive up on a 2x6 piece of wood to get the car up and then jack it.

That will work when I'm at my house, but the reason I'm really asking is if I get a flat tire 20 miles from my house what can I do.

I bought a low-profile jack from Sears.
It works perfectly on my lowered TL without having to use ramps or blocks.
I don't keep it in my car, but you could.

That's actually a good idea. I found a low-profile 2.5 ton jack that weighs under 25 lbs. It is def. cheap, but it will do the job. It's a torin jack and comes w/ two jack stands for $70

all you need is the 2x6 like 6-10" long and you're good, you only got to get the center of the tire contact patch on it. but like it was said before "pay to play"
