I have never used the stock jack, I have used a stock mitsubishi jack on my car after my 2/2.5 drop and it worked fine.

Well *******, the stock Eclipse jack and the stock Cobalt jack physically appear the same eccept for the design of their handle. How about you learn grammer.

oh my. let me begin;

I wasn't being an *******, but thanks for that.
How the hell am I supposed to know what a stock mitsubishi jack looks like or from what car.
My grammar is actually correct. just because its a terrible thought process, doesn't mean it's bad grammar.

And finally, I'd rather not be taking criticism from someone who can't spell except or grammar correctly.

I asked a simple exact and detailed question to which u did not answer. Have a good one.

My stock jack is the only one I have been able to use with my springs. I just put it in place and hit it with a few pumps of an Air impact gun. Does the job nicely

I did answer, you assumed I was refering to a different jack design. Spelling and grammer are completely different and I was refering to lack of capitalization not thought process. Although I have to say your next to last paragraph made me LMAO. Thanks for the laugh.

why would you criticize his grammar when he can come back and criticize your spelling. its stupid to criticize such things on the internet, unless one of those 14 year old kids comes on sayng **** that doesnt make a word of sense, because his 2 paragraph long post only has one period in it, and no commas.

anyway, you shouldnt assume that he knows the stock jack and your mitsu jack are the same design. I say fail on your end, but he was a bit harsh in pointing it out.
