Garage
Jacking has been a sketchy issue for me, always checking movements of the floor jack after a couple pumps up, watching the lift plate for movement or sliding, examine if chocks are snug, I’m never confident jacking this buggy up. Never going to get easy and nonchalant, it’s just a slow process for an awkward lift point especially in a tight garage.

For the work Im limited to do, usually I lift only one rear side anyway, front no problem.
Besides a progression of wood 2x10 boards to make an easy up ramp, getting enough room underneath to slide underneath isn’t much.

I read somewhere that placing the jack stands inboard on the torsion tube was safer that outboard. I’ve never done this method even for one side lift.
