[quote=flu][quote=svelte]I don’t know. I doubt I would crawl under the car if only hydraulics were keeping it from crushing me. I would still use jack stands even if I used the Quick Jack to get it into the air.

No auto repair is worth risk of severe injury or death to me.[/quote]

Interesting… Do they make 20″ jack stands?[/quote]

Lots of them on the market. Google “tall jack stands”

I mean, even floor jacks are hydraulic and we throw jack stands under a car when using those.
