My car is very low plus I'm running a ACR splitter. What are you guys using to get a jack underneath the car? How about getting it up on a lift at any shop? I was thinking about getting a set of car roller dollies and using them to gain a few inches and be able get the jack or a lift arm under there. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
For all of you guys with slammed vipers...help with jack or ramps

I built "steps" out of 1x6s to drive up so I can get the jack under mine, lowered a lot on coil overs.

Bench press it for an inch then lift with a standard low-profile jack.

That's a good idea using the 2x4

Driving up on to wood isn't the safest way to do things. I've seen those boards slip, or kick up into the body of vehicles before. I purchased 2 pairs (4 total) of these jack assist ramps to drive up. They are wide, and grip the ground nicely.

Harbor freight low profile race jack has enough clearance on my lowered car and Panteras.

Exactly This
Just bought a set of these.. I was using the "wood" method until the boards kept sliding on my coated floor.. PITA
Race Ramps are a bit overprice IMO , but do not slide and work great!

I use either 2x10 boards along with a low profile harbor freight jack.
I have access to rotary 2 post and 4 post lifts. If I need to take the wheels off it's 2 post. Drive over wood boards then rack it. Or if I'm lazy I use the low pro jack to jack the rear up so I can get the lift to clear the jack points.
If it's a quick visual I usually back it onto the 4 post to not hit the front end. Seems like it's easier to back onto the 4 post and not damage anything.

Yes Race Ramps are what you want. My race car is very low and the front splitter Is a pain with even short inclines. Race ramps are over priced like someone said above but they do seem to last and get the job done well.
