If your car has an aftermarket exhaust and you can see the rear diff you can jack it there. Usually being that my car is slammed I drive up on some wooden blocks, stick peice of wodd on the jack and align it with the jackpoint and jack away. I have the same sideskirts too!

i put a 2x8 concrete block (wood will also work) under each wheel of the end im going to work on. drive the car on to the blocks and roll the jack underneath the car.

Don't the jackstands mess up the bottom of your car because they are kind of shaped like |_| instead of being flat? I am installing an exhaust soon and that was something I was wondering about...

That is great information LT1 for someone with a G that's stock height. When
you're lowered you need "Roll Ups" to get the front end high enough so the
jack can be used. Even then you need to put a 2X4 block on the jack so you
don't damage the sides.
