Default Jacks

I know it's in here somewhere, but I can't find it. Where's the thread on the jacks we can use for those of us that run non runflats? Or better yet, can we list the jacks? Cheap to expensive. I'm in the middle.


Thanks


Dolen

In C5 Tech, click on Views to sort by views, it's the first one.

If you want a basic, cheap alternative, you can scrounge for a scissors jack from a salvage yard. I have an F-body scissors jack that'll fit under a C5 with a flat. It collapses to about 1 & 1/2 inches.

Thanks for the info. I need a jack to carry in my car when I run the F1 Supercars. I'll check out the local salvage yard.
