SQMonte Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 You forgot to mention about the capacity load of the jack stand because not all can hold bigger and heavy vehicle. I did go and get a pair of jack stand that can hold over 3 tonsExactly!

SnowDrifter Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 1. Sorry for bumping this ancient thread. I was going to make my own, but I figured I'd add on to what is said here. When I work on my car, I always use jackstands, but I also do a couple other things for safety's sake. Make sure you put the jack stands in, and jack from the proper place. This seems like common sense, but I can't tell you how many people I have seen who pick a spot and hope it's right. After the car has been jacked up and placed on stands, and if there is another free jack point - raise the floor jack up so just contacts. Note that I only advise this with a floor jack because of its wide base. The stock jack will only serve as a pivot point and perpetuate any sort of sideways motion as the vehicle falls. This is so if something happens with jack stands, the jack can catch it. In addition to above, remove the tire from whatever quadrant of the car you are working on and place it under a low point of the vehicle. This way, in the unlikely event that both the jack stands and the jack fail - you won't get crushed to death under your car. ALWAYS work with someone within ear shot. Use a jack that is capable of lifting the entire weight of your car and then some. Use the largest jack stands as are practical - higher tonnage stands usually have a wider base, which means they are more stable In my case, I can jack from the differential and the jack stands go on either side of the axle. I took my all 4 tires off and stuck them under the car 6 ton jack stands and a 4 ton jack to support a 2 1/4 ton car ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
