Message	I was doing the board thing like people mentioned. Then I stumbled upon something that works better for me. However, this won't work if you try to jack it up in the center in the front. I also don't have the kit, so I'm not sure how it will do on your car. I have a Craftsman 2 ton jack. I place the jack by the rear wheel and slide it under the car. Then I slide it up to the top where I want to jack. See, the rear part of the car is higher than the front and you can just fit the jack under the car. The back end of the jack is low enough to clear everything. It was just the middle that was too tall and would hit the side skirts. Good luck. I am a Software Engineer for hire or contract. Please email me for details at sstaley@vt.edu
