Those of you with Body Kits

For those of you with body kits, how exactly do you jack up the car if you have a flat tire? I mean, where do you put the jack? I know on most 3rd Gens, there is a specific place on the side under the front doors to place the jack. Are y'all just putting it under the axle? I know it sounds like a stupid question, but really, I'm curious.

I had to cut some slots out to the jack in there.

you can ride your car up on a block then place the jack under the car.

Yeah, I have to drive my car up onto some 2 x 12. But still had to cut some slots in the kit. The kit has a lip underneath the car that covers the piece where the jack is supposed to be placed. So in order to get to it, I had to cut the slots.

you'd think the kits would come with the slots cut...hey NJ34Z, if you get that new wide mouth/skyline kit made, you should have them do that...

You know, originally, I thought that I asked a stupid question, but it seems as if most people had never thought of the importance of this kinda crap. I actually don't feel like so much of a *******.
