Can’t you shim your jack up? I use a couple lengths of 4x12 i scavenged off a job site.Exactly right, there is more droop just like in one of those photos above, where the shock can just hang.
At that point my brake shield is touching the ground though!
Nails on chalkboard territory but ill make an attempt.
I should be able to make it work without too much trouble. Cant go outside though driveway is super sloped unfortunately. Neither jack nor jack stands stand a chance, no pun intended!
