Default how do you guys jack up a lowered sc with sideskirts?

Question for you guys with lowered SC's and aftermarket sideskirts

how do you guys jack up your SC's?

I'm lowered with Eibach sport springs, and have been putting off my vertex sideskirts cause of all the ongoing pending projects.

Does anyone make an ultra low floorjack?

My standard floorjack already has a height of ~4-5"

Default yea

The best solution is to roll up on some 2x4s. Theres no sense in buying a new jack.

I got sick and tired of rolling onto 2x4s so what I do is just use the stock scissor jack and jack it high enough so that my normal jack can do the rest of the work. My car is so low that I need to slide the scissor jack in from the wheel well lawl
