Sometimes thinking outside the box isn't a good thing.
How (NOT) to raise your car for bigger rims.

Lol the jack is there because he knows its going to get used when the whole thing buckles or else he'd have matching bricks, but it's on a Lincoln so I'd like to see it make around the block before the bricks crumble and the rims go thru the top of the fender hahaha
I have to say, that is the go to jack. Should have grabbed it. Last summer, while at the track, I was swapping tires and running that thing with a cordless impact. 3 different guys borrowed it from me before I left.
I’ve been looking for another for some time.

Don't trust them. In the early 90's my brother was putting brake pads on his girlfriend's Toyota Tercel(?) (Mid 80's car?). He was using the factory scissor jack with no jack stand (poor boy). He didn't have the tire under the car for added safety. He was probably 22 years old with a lot to learn. Without warning all the threads sheared off of the jack screw and the car came crashing down. Thankfully his legs weren't under the car when it let go.
I just cut the drive end off and weld a nut to it. I only use them on hard surfaces, and only to get low stuff high enough to get a floor jack under.
