Default BEST JACK FOR C5 MADE BY LEXUS...

Put drag radials on to go to track and before got there had a flat. :mad
Called wife to bring floor jack and my regular tire. Car sat so low could not get floor just under...what to do? Got scissor jack from Lexus GS400 and it fit find under side jacking position behind front wheel. Jacked up enough to get floor jack under car. Moral of story....Going to look for a sissor jack if I have this problem again. I have never thought that the car sits so low with a flat tire that a regular jack wont fix under :confused: Beats calling a flat bed.

Earl - I carry a scissor jack from a Honda Accord for this same reason. In fact, I can jack the car with this...and it's easily purchased from your local junkyard.

The sissors jack from a ford Taraus works well also... very low profile when fully collapsed... should be readly available...

Got to come up with one of them "Joke Jacks". That should be the name of a rock group.
