How do you guys with body kits jack up your car?

I just got C-west front and sideskirts. I was looking under the car to see where I can jack it up to change my oil. I cant figure out how to raise this in oder to get under it.

I was just wondering what you guys do the raise the car? My only guess is to drive up on same thing and then something alittle higher etc..

Either the rear- side of the car or you can try to put the blocks (2x4's) right beside the area that you will be using the jack (obviously the frame) and then slide the jack right beside the blocks! It's much harder to explain then it is to do! It's not hard at all! Just use common sense and you'll be fine!

I use the stock jack to raise up and then the floor jack to lift the rest of the way.

if you're just changing your oil, why not get some ramps from pep boys & drive up 'em? Much faster & doesn't eff with teh bottom of your car.

I tried that when my car was just lowered with out a kit. I didnt even come close to making it up the ramps. I would have riped my front bumper off.

I have been looking at these flat jacks made for race cars. Anyone seen them or used them before?

I have a really cool Craftsman floor jack that sit somewhat lower to the ground. All in all, just make sure you get the ones that have the removable plate that looks like a bowl.
