I do this often as well. I jack up the rear end and slide in a jack stand in the front. Then you do the same thing on the other side.

i thought you weren't supposed to jack it up at the rear toe hook since it might tweak the frame?

no?

You get the 2x4 or 2x6 or whatever and stack and nail them up in a ramp like way:

You then drive your car onto the wood so the car can be higher up, and then you put can your jack underneath.

Even car shops have some 2x4 laying around so lowered cars can drive on them to get onto their lifts.

It's such a common trick that I didn't think I would have to explain in this detail >_<;;

i been using that way the problem is its just too simple and free or almost free lol

the real hard core person could cut the ends to be a ramp for smoother mounting
