and get your minds out of the gutter. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I like JPs boxes but I don't have enough room nor is my floor overly level. I want to get the car up as high as possible and be able to work on various areas. Ideas? |

you could run a 2x4 under each long, place the jack stands under it where the donuts are/should be. for the donuts, i'd dimple out the 2x4 to slightly to fit around the donut, then place the jack stand under that. more secure.
this assumes that you're a little nervous around jack stands, and don't like the placement of jackstands directly on the donut. (i fall into this camp). whatever you do, give it a good push before you crawl under it. better for it to fall/slide at that point. and, as someone once told me, make sure your wife knows how to work the jack. n |
