Philplop Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Do they not have a couple of bits of wood lying about to drive onto? Seems a bit of a fanny on for you to go and raise it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D_eano Posted April 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> youre a legend!i figured out a way to make it at least 2 inches lower on the front!... if you unscrew the adjuster rings on coilys till they drop down the shaft you get loads more space!figured it good for shows when the cars still for a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one litre wonder ;) Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 see my tyre fitted has a wee metal frame thing thats really low ( about 1 1/2inches ) and then slides it under the car and then attaches the air feed from the air gun for undoing wheel nuts and inflates it and an airbag lifts the car high enough to get the jacks under it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
