Ok the last time i got my tires replaced i went to this place called tire center to get it done. They change all my tires even with the body kit and drop. Ok i go back there this morning to get them changed again and the place denys me and says ive never been there in my life and they cant do it. I raised total you know what. So i drove around to about 8 different places and no one will do it. Im gonna have to raise my coilovers back up about all the way to get the tires changed. I can get the rear raised beacuse ive done it b4. But the thing is i have no clue where to place a jack on the front with the side skirts being in the way of the area to place the jack???:confused: If anyone could help me out on a place to place the jack???:confused: I have the wings west side skirts!! Thanks a bunch hope to hear some info back on this one!!!:(

Try taking it to a speed shop. Or maybe you can do things the hard way and jack up your car and take the loose wheels in. There juss scared to f up anything thats all.

and for the rear just look in the center of the rear bumper underneath there will be what looks like a tow hook, jack it from there. unless your car is dropped 12" you can hit that point with a jack no problem.

Drive up on something in the front. I drive up on an old Biology book, then I can fit the jack under there.

the stock jack in your spare tire well fits under anything... doesnt matter how slammed you are. use two jacks... the stock jack to get the car high enough to fit your floor jack under....
duhhhh:D
have fun... its a PITA i know...

btw.. if the stock jack doesnt fit... DOODE WHY THE HELL ARE YOU RIDING SO LOW TO BEGIN WITH?!

I got the problem worked out. My body shop guy had a rack to put my car on and he took care of the wheels for me for free.
