Ikon side skirts and marker light tint

Had the side skirts sitting around since chirstmas. Got some nice weather and had to get it done. I got stainless steel screws instead of using the screws that they came with because I didn’t want to deal with rust.

On a side note, the side skirts are so low to the ground it’s scary, and I have no idea how I’ll ever get all 4 tires on the air at the same time again with a floor jack and stands

I use a Harbor Freight low profile jack and it just barely squeaks by under the side skirt at the jack points. The other option is nail a few 2x4s together to drive up until you have enough clearance up front to slide the jack under.

Yellow jacket makes a lower than normal low profile jack. I can measure mine if you want to know how high it is just sitting there. They are not real expensive either.

I’m due for a new jack. Mine is seriously shot. I didn’t even think about a low profile jack. I’ll have to see what’s around. I can only fit 4 fingers under the side skirts.

Thanks for measuring man. I’m 3.5 inches of ground clearance. So I’ll have to use a small board with a jack like that which may work.

Well crap, gonna have to cross those off my future mod list. They look great but there's no way I'd clear the curb in front of my driveway with those.

You can get a great low profile jack at Harbor Freight.
