Default ? for those with chin spoilers

I am considering the CDC Classic chin spoiler but I am wondering if those who have them have a hard time getting a floor jack under the front of the car to lift it? As it is now, I can barely get a floor jack under it and the front of my car isn't lowered at all. I am considering getting a low profile jack but that doesn't seem like it would even be low enough.

Are you jacking from the sides or the front? I've got the CDC Aggressive chin spoiler but I just jack from the side with two jacks.

I have the CDC classic, and a low profile floor jack. The Jack slips under the front of the car easily but the handle doesn't have enough room to actually jack the car up, so I have use another jack on one side of the car raise the front high enough, then I can jack it up no problems. When I lower it, I just make sure the handle is all the way down as the car drops and it slides right out.

I can't jack my car up with stock springs and front end without driving up on boards first. My jack handle hits the bumper. So either drive up on some boards or jack from the side.

I just drive up onto 2 blocks of 2x12's (wood). The jack fits nicely.

i made these just for that reason. and simple to make. you can always slip a floor jack under if you need more lift.

Nice! I have to use boards too, but I want some ramps. Perhaps I will build some.
