how does the side skirt block the front of the car?
"im not sure where to jack it up from the front,because my sideskirt is molded on my car"
unless you mean your front lip.
the jack point is on off center towards the drivers side.

read it again..
his bodykit blocks the stock location, so he wants to jack it up in the front.

drive it up on ramps, if possible. If not, get creative. find a solid place, ive used the crossmembers before, transmission would likely work if you can get the jack safely planted. Then set it on jackstands.

get some 2x4's drive onto them slowly till you get enough clearence, you might need 3 on each side like have two that are ground level then one ontop of them. should work no problem.

I do it from the rad support. I lifted my friends EJ1 from the tow hook once and the thing started to bend. Scared the beJesus outta me.

Buy some ramps at autozone. Good investment.
If your front lip doesnt clear the ramp before your tire takes the car up, use wood to advance the incline.

Your radiator support is probably bent from your car being lowered and you scraping as you make left hand turns into parking lots that have a dip
I thought the same thing about the radiator support bending on my car but after hearing a scrape every morning i realized it was just my driving plus my lowered car.

lol a whole 2 months
Anyway, just try the tow hook or rad support. Or drive onto a couple bricks/2X4s and then lift it from the side.
