Question Floor Jack for Lowered Car

Does anyone know of a good 3ton floor jack that will fit under a 99Z with Eibach Sport Line Springs. I havent got the spring yet, but plan on getting a jack soon, so i figured I would go ahead and get one lower car friendly .

I realized my 2ton POS jack that I used for my old car worked good for that, but is getting old and hurting getting up the camaro.

Thanks for any help.

Just drive the car up on a 2x4 so it will be tall enough...If it is stiff to low them take 2 2x4s one longer and one smaller and make it so you drive up onto one then the other so its about 3-4 inches up there and that should be good...That or get a buddy to lift up on the fender for you while you jack it up.

Well, my camaro is not lowered but I do have a nice craftsman 3 ton floor jack that fits fine under my car. How much are you lowering it? Measure the clearance under the jack points now and take off the amount you are lowering the car. That should be the clearance you will have when lowered, right? take that down to sears or where ever you want to buy a jack from and put the jack all the way down and measure it. Its the only way you will know for sure. Or actually the only way you will know for sure is to try it out after you lower the car. Of course the 2x4 thing would work if you can't find one low enough. Or hey you could cough up a few grand and get one of the NASCAR jacks HEHEHEHEH. (would be cool to have though).
