Stillen skirt vs. TS/AIT skirt

Hey guys.

Looking into side skirts to match match with my Autokits lip.

I need a skirt that will not hinder my car from being raised by any lifts from when I get my car serviced.

I had a full kit on my previous car and it was such a hassle dealing with jacks and lifts. I don't want to deal with 2x4's and stuff.

Is it impossible with these skirts?

Does anyone know which one actually makes the car appear lower?

How do the AIT skirts fit? And how lower are they compared to stock?

The AIT skirts are a good 1 to 1.5" lower than the stock skirts. Getting a low profile jack under the car is no problem, BUT using that low profile jack would be impossible. The arm of the jack would crush the skirt before making contact with the jack point.

I have to raise the rear via the diff casing, then put a normal 2-ton jack where I need it to be.

Thanks guys. I think I'm going with the Stillens. I need something that doesnt sit too low and it uses the factory mounting points.

no man.

AK-X came up with one and I'm still undecided.

I actually have the JP Vizage side strikes but never put it on the car.

I have the TS/AIT getting installed now, but I've seen the Autokits one and it looks pretty sick.

I've had the JP's since early last year. Bought it from a member here. I like the AK-X sides but I have other priorities now and I can't be spending as much on my car like before.
