Never, not once. Thought about taking them both out to save weight in the trunk.

I have a low profile floor jack and have never used the jack that came with the car.

Hello Shotokan1509 ; I had some questions in regards to the wheel, tire and suspension set up of your car. Your wheels and tires look similiar to my 07 and would like to have it lowered similair to yours and need some help / advice please. Thanks. PS: New to this site and I could not figure out how to send you a personal message.

I'm using the jack right now to put on my 20s. Never had the spare cash to go out and get a hydraulic one.

2 flats, one on my stock tires, then another on my new 20's, car looked goofy as f*ck with 3 20's and the spare on. Used the jack both time.

i also use the jack to perch the car up high enough to even think about getting my floor jack under any part of the car :O

I use the jack that came with it..... enough to get the front end high enough off the ground to get a regular hydraulic jack under the K member to jack the whole front end then throw it on some jack stands.

I use the stock jack every time I lift the car, its the only jack I have that gets that low, I use it until I can get one of my taller jacks under the car
