Actually, the skirts do affect jacking up the car in two ways. Easy fixes though.

1) If you're low like me, a standard jack won't fit under the car anymore with side skirts. I drive up on a 2x8 first, then jack up the car as normal. The extra 1.5" gives me what I need. One of these days I'll buy a super low profile jack.

2) With my ID sides, the skirt gets in the way of using the OEM jacking points properly w/o interference. I notched out my skirts to accommodate the jack at that location. Simple. Stillen sides may be a little different.

BTW, wrong forum.....again.
