shops with lifts usally have lift arms that are less than 2 inchs
just take the hieght extender of of them
and i think you need to worry about not bottoming out w ony 2 in clearane more than jacking it up
plz post pics so we can see, some ppl are interested in purchasing body kits

RE: trouble with side skirts
the kit is already on. im still on my factory springs. i just didn't have the skirts molded to the body yet by the body shop. i could take off the sides in less then 2 minutes for both. i just know i'm not the first one with body kits. i seen a few people on the road with thier cars low to the ground. i'm just wondering how they get it worked on if the shop can't use thier lift kit to pick it up.

if your worrying about getting it on a side mount lift then What I have to do is jack the car up with a 3 ton jack in the front and swing the front arms under and in place then jack the back of the car up where the swing arms connect and swing the back lift arms under and then lift away... reverse instructions to get it off the lift...
