Default Car lowered - Catback swapping problems! :-(

I have my car lowered on factory bolts (no cut bushings) and I have been trying to get my Ti Exhaust put on. The first two quotes I got were $175.00 The third was $60.00. All three places couldn't get the car on a lift. We tried both a drive on, and a swing-arm lift. Any advice???? I am going insane!

how about driving up on some boards, some 2x6 or something, might allow enough clearance to get something under there.

I suggested that to the shop that did mine (for future reference). I assumed he knew said it took a bunch of guys to get it on the lift. I dont know what they did, I think they jacked one area and kept moving around until they were able to get the arms under
