Default I got a Flat on my Dropped 5thgen, can i pull this off?

This is a question i kinda of feel silly asking but...
Man i'm beginning to HATE the fact i dropped my car... it looks tight, but all the F-ing bumping around and bottoming out and crap damn, now this....
My car is a 94 LX, dropped 2.2 in the front, 2.0 in the back... With 205/50/15 tires... pretty low...
2 days ago i got a flat in my front passenger side tire , think i ran over a nail or something... I'm away at college so i wasn't tripping, i got out to the Car today, and my friggin jack won't even fit under this SOB (with the combo of the flat and the drop)
The Question, is there anyway i can work this out... my friend said try it over a slightly elevated area, like the area between the curb and the street... Will this even work, I'm thinking the wheel will just sit on the flat while the car goes up... Or should i give this a try... I think i am kinda just ranting... but if you can please gimme some insight before i call a tow truck

try this get another jack and put on your oem sideskirt and lift it up then with the other jack put it where it belongs and raise it all the way up the the #2 jack. Thats what i do on mine. NOTE watch side skirt carefully for any bending shouldn't happen but just in case.

i jack my cars up from under the back.i just put teh jack under the tow hook thing and get it in the air
then put another jack or jackstand inder the side so i can get a jack under the front jack point.

btw if you are bumping and bottoming out you got shitty or blown shocks.

Use the little factory jack (If you have it) to lift the car enough to put the other jack under there.
Or get a piece of wood and drive the car on it to raise the front.....

basically you've gotta place the honda jack, or whatever kind of jack you have where the jacking point is, and have someone lift up the car via the fender or front bumper and you can ease the jack under there and lift it up.

Or roll it upon a block or something and put the jack under there and lift her up.

Its easy man, you don't gotta stress. just gotta think.

I had the same problem. Use 2 factory Jacks.

1. Jack the the rear up, on the same side as the flat to raise it enough to slit the other jack under the front passenger side

2. Then use the other jack to jack the front passenger up and change it like normal.

ez stuff, just gotta think
