I just got my RKsport lip kit installed, and I realized something, How do you guys jack up your car with skirts? Do you take them off every time you work on the car? I have to change my oil next weekend, so ideas are appreciated.
rolll up on a couple of boards and may b that would lift it enough a couple of my friends have to do that cuz there dropped hard
4 door civic on the way

I was thinking of getting ramps, but I think I would scrap the front going up them, also you can't take the wheels off on ramps.

Once you get the car far enough up, then you can put the jack under it and adjust to what you need, just be careful lol
drive onto bricks, 2x4's, a foot, a tool box, anything you can find to just drive onto that will give you an extra inch or 2
thats all you need
i just jack mine up from the front of the car and then go from there, works frine for me.
i go between the wheel and the skirt on an angle and you can get in there. or yea just drive on to a 2x4
i just made some "low profile" lol, ramps outta 2x4 and 2x8s i had laying around for when i had bomex kit. just used bench saw and cut a 45degree angle on em and screwed them toogether, worked out great. they also nicely layed flat in the cargo net in the trunk if i ever needed em incase i was out on the road somewhere
I have 2 ramps that I made for my car too, they are almost identical to those! Works great, I even bought a low profile floor jack thinking that it would save some hassle it was like 75 or 80 bucks, get home to use and it still wouldn't fit under the side. So I returned it bought a regular floor jack for $20 and made some ramps out of some old wood!
thats a great idea manta ^ i might have to make me some.
I NEED a 97-99 LD9 engine harness for an auto.PM if u hav info.!!
i have a scissor jack that i use my air gun with then roll the race jack under it....and i'm bagged so i'm lower than most
manta, that is a great idea, i guess i'll be making two of those.
I got sick of using ramps, so i ended up splurging on a low profile jack....wouldn't go back either.
The stock scissor jack works great especially if you can't get a low profile jack under there. Throw some grease on the OEM jack screw and it's so simple to jack the car high enough to get a floor jack under or higher for jack stands.
I have to take my side skirts off to get my car on a lift or get a jack under it. Its just easier
i have a jack that i have been working on cutting and welding to make a lower profile. boards are the next best thing. Unfortunately i gave up on the jack because we got a post lift at work with air bag lifts in the middle so we can lift the car, place the plates under the car and lift again to get the wheels off of the ramps. it works wonders.
I drive up on boards

Or you could just have a friend lift up on the wheel well so that you can put the jack under, thats what we did at the shop I worked at when lowered cars came in.
