Jack on a body kit

So yea i went to go to work thismorning and found that there was a screw in my tire and it went flat so i just got home and i cant get my jack under the car. I have the accolade ts evo 7 kit and the sideskirts are too low that if i get the jack under there i have lift the car up because the sideskirt is in the way....So any ideas of what i can do? cause i dont want to drive to the tire shop on a completly flat tire or pay the money to get it towed..so any ideas? i will be very thankfull

if you can get the jack under the skirts.... use peices of wood on the jack to get the height. then once its up high enouph throw a jack stand under it quick to support it.

Just drive on a 2x4 or something to lift you car, then use the jack.

good point. But if your jack isnt steep enouph and hits the skirt before it starts lifting you need to build up the jack with something.

Ok guys the 2x4 trick worked but the jack came close when i let it down on the spare. So my advice to anyone changing a tire with a bodykit use a 2x4. It might even help if you carry a small one in your trunk just in case your out on the road. but thanks for all of your help

I've always had this problem... What I have done was purchased a billet aluminum tire ramp small enough to go under the passenger seat in case of a flat or other immediate repairs. Just get something under that tire and you're set.
