With a suspension drop of ~1" on a G35...

what type/brand of hydraulic jack do you have? The ones that I have clear the stock height on the sides, but it doesn't clear the front (Stillen lip added). Is there a low-profile jack out there that is recommended? Or is there a low-profile car ramp that people used with the lowered rides? Thanks!

I have the nismo bumper and s-techs. I use Rhino low profile ramps. But even those are too steep. I have to go up on a piece of 2x4" for extra clearance. For the rear, I can just manage getting a floor jack under the rear diff, but have no room to jack the lever since it won't clear the muffler. Lowered cars suck for maintenance.

Those Takata ramps are the ****e! I love my Rhino ramps for my 2 Hondas to change the oil and the G just barely makes it with some boards in front.

Thanks guys for the feedback. Sounds like it's always going to be a two part process. I'm going to look into those Takata ramps.

Kenchan - which HF hydraulic jack did you get?

Yeah... but if the ones I just posted a picture of are the same measurements as the takata... then why get takata when you can get these for less than half the price?!?!?!
