Oil Change w/ side skirts ?!?!

I have a full body kit, and it is pretty dropped low.

I don't think any jack would fit into the bottom of my car or else my side might crack !

I mean, besides getting oil changes, how in the world can i lift my car up ?? I don't wanna crack my precious kits.

I have Skunk2 Coilovers, if that would help you answer my question. Thankz

i wonder how to do it too. my car is dropped to the point where i cant fit a jack and i will be putting a kit on soon. i guess i will have to get coilovers instead so i can raise up the car and i can change my oil.unless there is an easier way...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Someone just posted a DIY on how to raise the car if its too low for a jack[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]... drive your front tires up on a block of wood.

How are you going to raise the coilovers without raising the car?

you have coilovers so just raise your car up or get on the racks that jack your car up using the tires. if your cars too low, you could always have them drive over wooden boards or something for a smaller angle.
