I have trouble lifting my car with my hydrolic floor jack...it's difficult to find a lifting point that won't possibly damage my car...the jack cannot get under the sides of the vehicle due to it being lowered and having a body kit...I find a way every time...but something will go wrong sooner or later...wondering if anybody has a certain trick, or type of jack that works for them, thanks in advance
Don't worry, you're not the only one...I too am dropped on Sportlines with a body kit and have the same problem.
What you do is find yourself 2 pieces of wood or brook (pretty much anything hard, strong and flat), have someone help you and drive your front 2 tires onto them. Now your car is high enough to be jacked up. That's pretty much the only way to do it unless you find a shop with a specially made SUPER low jack.
Good luck.

there is a place that sells jacks for lowerd cars i'll have to find the link
i just use ramps, mine takes 2 "low clearane addons" cause of the drift front and im lowered on goldlines.
glad i have acess to lifts
and yeah maybe you could get a set of drive on ramps....that would be a good idea.

i agree with NJHK a block of wood or a brick works great. we took a 2 by 10 and cut it into peices to make our own lowrider ramps

it doesnt really matter what kind of floor jack you get really. even if you get it under the car, it will usually hit the sides before it even comes close to the pinch welds anyway. i know there is a dodge jack out there though, i think its from a dodge van and its pretty much flat and i used it once when i had my drift kit and it worked great, minus the fact it was a factory jack and took forever to jack the car up.
other than that your only option is what adam said. make some ramps out of 2x4s and drive up them and then you'll be good
I drive my car onto bricks.
