My TR6 is lowered slightly (Ted's lowered springs) and I have no issues sli=
ding the Quick Jack lifts under the frame from the side.=C2=A0 But if I wan=
t to use a trolley jack under the front cross member I need to use another =
one under a frame rail to get enough clearance.=C2=A0=C2=A0
My lifts warn not to drive over the lifts so I've never tried it.
