Hey guys, normally I don't need to use ramps and being skinny I can shimmy under truck to change fluids etc. Well my brakes are screeching alot so its time to change them at my high school for all the changes we use the "service jacks" or lifts
I don't have the luxury of them at my house, I have the 2 ton 13.3in jack and 3 ton stands which jacking at the normal engine block on the mounts won't get my wheels off the ground to put the stands in I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions as the where to jack and place stands on this monster.
I've heard its okay to jack on the lower control arms since it also takes the travel out of the suspension then place the stands on the normal mount, would that keep my wheels off the ground?
Sorry for the influx of stupid threads I did a search and came up with nothing. Thanks and if this is in the wrong spot please move, thanks.
