akyakapotter Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 If you lowered a lot id say yes I struggle with my stock glanza skirts hate to think what it's going to be like with my livesports ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Jack it up under the lower arm where it bolts to the chassi/floor, obv put a thick bit of rubber or wood ontop of the jack first. I try not the jack a car up on its sills wherever possible, messes them up really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rasslenny Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 only time i really jack the car up is in the garage and we use a hydrolic lift and hoist it in the air but i feel like its gona be too low to get the car off the ground now ... o wells ill find out when they get here... it just hit me that it may be a little to low now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Ohh yeah if youre putting it up on a 2 post ramp it might be a pain. I have this problem all the time when people bring in lowered cars into work. What i normally do is drive the car onto 2 pieces of wood, 1 under each front wheel, so it raises the car a bit, then i can get the legs under with the rubber bit twisted as far up as i can. And for the rear i put a jack under the rear axle or diff to raise it up enough to get the back ramp legs under the skirts, again with the rubber bits wound wound as far up as i can get them.Hope that makes sense, bit of fucking about but it works lol.

TurboTobz Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Drive it onto some wood, et voila! But as Daniel says avoid sills where possible, it does ruin them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
