As with any lowered vehicle you must position your bottle jacks or floor jacks carefully so that you dont get the body kit bent in when your working on the vehicle...carefully lift her up and watch that you dont crack any panels..when the tires are going on were really cautious because of the size increase of the tire packages that are being sold..just take your time and position the jacks in the best area you can...
