Here's an interesting question:

I want to rotate my tires front to back. I have a 2 ton Hydraulic jack. I would normally lif the car on one side, take off the two wheels, and swap them. But, I have RMM fiberglass sideskirts on the car, and was wondering...do these cover the jack locations on the bottom of the car? I haven't checked down there, but I am worried that sideskirts my cover the jack points.

Anyone know for sure?

Thanks in advance,
-Dana

That TSB post didn't mention anything about AFTERMARKET sideskirts and their interference with the Jack points. Nevermind. I'll wait till I get home from work to look.

You could!

Just use the frame rails (2 big long bars running front to back close to the center of the car). They're much more sturdy than the stock jack locations.

what if you can't slide the hydrolic jack under there for lowered cars?

what if you can't drive up the ramp because the front bumper will touch.

use ur stock jack to lift one end then slide the hydrolic jack in the other end...
