I knew I was going to need the car up off the ground to do all the work safely. I decided to build cribbing/DSE stands. I need to get a better higher rise and lower profile jack to get the car all the way up. I still have one more level I could add to the cribbing with the wood I already have cut. Suggestions welcome on a quality jack that doesn't cost a ridiculous amount. For now, this will have to do

Looks like you're moving along! Here's how I get the car up high enough to get it on tall crib stacks.

Thanks Scott.

Thanks John. How do you like that Craftsman jack? It's pretty low profile like it'll fit under our front subframes fine. Does it?

Don't forget that the jack MOVES with the car going up (or down) and needs to have ROOM to move without falling off your cribs...

Just the thought of someone using it that way without stops makes my eye twitch.

OK, no need for anyone else to pile on.

The jack doesn't move with my system of jack platforms, cribs, etc. which I feel is a safer way to raise cars high and use cribs. I do it constantly on lots of cars.

I'll write a detailed explanation later when I have more time.
