For some reason I hate the idea of jacking up one side, putting in a jack stand, and then jacking up the other for the same. I have the OE front chin spoiler, so it looks silly low IMO in the front. Does anyone have "raceramps", and if so are you happy with them? My local stealership wants $60 to swap out my foglamp bulbs (while its already lifted for an oil change ), so I'm thinking DIY.

Any raceramp fans?

I'm not sure about raceramp but I'm lowered on KWv3 and have an oem front lip. I need planks in front of my Rhino Ramps to keep from scraping.

btw, you don't need to lift the car to change the fogs. you may loose some skin if you don't have skinny hands but turning the wheels should be sufficient.

You can lift the front (or rear) using the centre jack points then place jack stands under the pinch welds or frame rails. No need to do one side then the other.

^ That is assuming that the jack can fit under the car. I have to use 2x4s in front of my ramps.

The OP said "I hate the idea of jacking up one side, putting in a jack stand, and then jacking up the other for the same." so I'm assuming he can get a jack under.
Just pointing out to him he doesn't need to.

Sorry, I meant getting a jack underneath the front end of the car to that jack point you referred to in your picture. Getting to the jack point on the side of the car is usually easier.

If you can't get a jack under the front jack point directly, why not slightly jack up the side of the car to the point where you can get a jack under the center lift point.

My sedan is fully stock. I'm barely able to squeeze the arcan low profile (costco) jack under the front. The back of the jack does rub the undercover slightly, and first several pumps are just barely enough to get it lifted. After wards it comes up pretty quick.

If I was lowered, I'd either drive onto wood 2x8's or similar to get the front end up, or just jack a side slightly. The latter does require 2 jacks though.

I have a set of raceramps for my garage.







But now that I've finished my dad's garage I just drive over there.
