when jacking up your 4th gen

is it normal for the back tire to lift off the ground at the same time or before your front tire when you lifting it from the jack mount right behind the front tires

i didnt notice this that much when i had my stock suspension.. but now with my koni/skunk2 setup.. i worry...

thanks in advance

yeah mine does the same thing. so if it isn't normal then your car isn't the only one doing it. if that makes you feel any better.

Its because the chassis and suspension are both fairly stiff.

yea, mine does that, If i pull up into a sloped driveway at an angle, my rear tire will lift up to 6 inches from the ground. Looks pretty damn funny.

I drive all four wheels onto boards, and then jack the car up, that way your higher and the back wheel doesnt come off the ground, But yea my car does it too. also does the driveway trick too.
