Here's my current (and typical) setup. Four quality jack stands, and the wheels and tires I took off the car stacked underneath as a backup.
thats me too. exactly. chicken little.
a bloke here got underneath his citroen raised to full ht. on hydraulic suspension to do some quick tinkering (because you can do it with one of those french things, but you have to disconnect your brain at the same time). no jackstands.
his wife found him in the garage. under the car. which had come down suddenly. as they do from time to time. he had left this world.
you can't be too careful esp if there is no one else around except little old you screwing around in the garage.
@914043 . like the earthquake thinking. we don't get them down here apparently.
until 2 years ago when we got a sizeable jolt. which shook the hell out of things.
and its had me thinking ever since.
i even look at the two post lift in the workshop sideways now!
