id say he means put a few wooden blocks onto the jack?this way they will be touchin the car but as you jack it up you should still have enough clearance that you wont touch your skirts!:)

As Craig suggested. Use wooden blocks on the jack but make sure that they are stable when in contact with the chassis

Thats what I thought. My car is really low aswell and I drive the car onto some wood in order to raise it up so i can get a jack under neath it to jack it up without hitting the sideskirts.

are the skirts not bonded on? I had same problem. Now i jack under rear suspension on the rear beam till i can get a jack under. Mines to low to get any jack under even wit a super low trolley one. Price we pay to look home :)
