Just be wary and careful when working alone. My fault I know but be careful.
Were you stacking the rubber blocks? QJ says you can do that, but when I tried I was very uncomfortable with the result, they tended to lean as the car lifted. So I never stack the blocks. I mentioned a couple of posts above that I was going to work on 2x8's stacked on top to gain some height. Here is the setup lifting my new CX-5. The wood isn't just sitting there, there is another piece screwed to the underside that you can't see. That fits into the trays on the frames, there is no way for the wood to slide out.
