Car jacks

[baute]

i always did this. even the low jacks wouldn't fit under my car.

I have 60 mm of space between the floor and the bottom Jacking, enough not to use woods, but can not find a low profile jack here in Spain

Here you are a demo video of the exhaust air jack

ok I'm surprised

Those exhaust bags pictured above are very common here in australia.
We use them all the time when were fourwheel driving, and we get stuck on the sand.

They are extremely safe (if you get the right brand) and can easily lift some big fourwheel drives.

you've tried it in cars with small engines?
I have the impression that half the work the 1.4L 90hp engine of my car turn off..

You can buy low profile jacks....



But I usually just drive up onto wood and then jack the car..

Use the scissor jack to get the car high enough to fit the trolley jack under the sill and then roll the trolley jack under

Failing that try put the trolley jack straight in the wheel arch under a wishbone (if it'll fit in the arch)

I am currently doing that, I have two woods and two cats in the trunk
I drive the car over the woods, so the scissors jack will not break, lift the enough to roll the trolley jack .. but looking for something faster and easier .. I think the best option is the oxer´s option, a jack with low profile even are very large is better than taking 4 things , but I've been looking on ebay and can not find anything similar here..

yeah just make sure you dont have your face above the hose when your letting the air out... like that fella.

remembering that its filled completely by exhaust gas.

I usually lift first de back part of the car (It's higher than front)and then I put another jack at the front part, but your car is very low all over its lenght....

Looks like we need them stanceworks engineers to come up with something......Lord knows I'd buy it

Ah now I see what you are saying. Your best bet is really to carry 2 small 2x4's with you and use an OEM jack.

[baute]

no no! you dont understand me, the scissor jacks are perfect, but when it start work so low, so open, the plastic axis load an extra pressure and breaks .. I've already broken three oem scissor jacks
honestly I have never seen any of the two air systems works, for these reason I am asking why do you think?

[Kielan]

You won't trust scissor jacks but you will trust air bags? I am confused.

[baute]

Maybe you can trust in that....



It works with the exhaust gas jeje un saludo bachatero!

god
looks a little unsafe...
and my 1.4litres engine surely turns off when you get out that of the trunk..
i found this :



but you need an air compressor, I do not know if that can be inflated with a 12v compressor
