The ramps probably will not work. I cant make it up with a splitter so I doubt you can with that bumper

Good choice. Do a search on here and you'll find a diagram that shows where to place the jack to get the car up. Please try not to use the Mitsu recommended spots along the side rails.

Rhino ramps are just a brand name of ramps

Yeah if go per Mitsubishi and use most any jack besides the one that comes with the car, you will Ruin the side rails. So find a new spot or use the stocker like me and then jack stands.

question...when using the stocker you can get it up high enough to get the jack stands under there? And then where do you put the jack stands? And won't it make it harder to get the jack under the other side?

alright well pretty much I need to get under there to get the spark plug fouler on and put back on the cross brace bars. basic exhaust work...so was not sure what i should do lol...and sounds like ramps might be easiest at this point. Roll up. Pull the ebrake. Crawl under. release ebrake. Roll back. LOL
