I cant say 100% mostly cause I dont have side skirts, but Id have to say no. I couldnt see them saying "Here you go, dealer option sideskirts for your car, dosent that look nice. Oh by the way, you cant use the jack to change a tire because the skirts will make the car tip over."

If you use the factory car jack that sits under the pinch welds behind the side skirts you will crack the skirts that is if you can even fit the jack under the car. Although what i have done in the past is ride the car on wooden blocks just under the tires and use a standard floor jack. That works great for me and you still get to change 2 tires at a time. Also if the ss are factory you might have enough room to use the stock car jack if you jack up the car in the middle of the sides where the side skirt curves up i do believe you have enough room. I wish i could be more help but i had the z glide skirts and my car sat about 4'' off the ground (give or take). Good luck!

The backs of the skirts are hollow, the jack sits behind them.

i guarantee 100% that the vert skirts will never interfere with jacking up the car laugh.gif

Otherwise, get one of the 10-20 dollar canister jacks at your local auto shop. They shouldn't mess with the skirts as they'd go around them. biggrin.gif

OEM skirts does not render the jack areas useless. The skirt looks lower from the outside but towards the jack sections they level back out. You still can use the scissor jacks.
