Now for the scary part - lowering the car down.

It's not to scary if you raise the driveway.

That wasn't so bad!



I ended up taking 1 of the farm jacks back to Harbor freight. Do not buy model 6530, it is very unstable. Specify that you want only model 60668. The issue is with the base plate. 60668 surrounds the upright shaft completely. 6530 does not, it barely stands up on it's own.

Now I have 2 good jacks. Back to work now.

RJ- You're a very brave guy.. Very Cool.

We used to have jacks like that, they were always called railroad jacks.

Jeep people call them HiLift jacks or HighJacks, but never in or near an airport.
