No Problemo.
Drive up on the ramps.
Have a couple of your strong buddies hold up the front end.
Yank the ramps. Remove the wheels and start working.

Or Hire strong midgets to crawl underneath and push up.
Think Out of the Box :D

lol.yea.
i almost cracked one of miy side skirts while lowering the jack, good thing i was going slow and didnt just let is slam or it wouldve cracked for sure. it got stuck and the skirt started to bend so we had to get another jack from a diff point and jack it back up to get the other one out.

you should use your jack thats in ur trunk, im on stechs and man thoes regular jacks would not fit at all! use your jack first to lift it up a little and use an hydraulic one.

yea i was gonna get a lip kit, but im really afraid of tearin it apart on gas station entrances, garages, etc. no matter how slow you drive its still gonna scrape, im on s-techs so im pretty low.that, and idk how the hell id jack it up, have to drive it up on big blocks i guess, since i already have to drive up on little ones...
