Default Jack stands
Did my front brakes today and placing the pump jack then the jack stands is a real pain the @#s. They could have given you another 3 inches of reinforced area to fit both. I want the side skirts but I don't know how you would jack up the car.[xx(][xx(]

Agree. Lakes pipes must be a joy, also. Guess we'll just all have to get hydraulic lifts with the "X beams" put in our garages...
In the rear, I use a floor jack on the beam axle, with a 2x6 between the jack & axle to distribute weight, as I heard you could bend the axle.
