Re: Jackstand height for diff/tranny work (cprgmr)
You don't want to make it to high, you will make it top heavy. I would take my tires off and slide them under the wheels. Are you removing the tranny? If you are and you are lifting it out and in by hand you don't want it so high you can't reach it.

Re: Jackstand height for diff/tranny work (cprgmr)
I got my first tranny out fine with the car on top of 24" jack stands. I used a large floor jack to lower the tranny down. Then when I got it close to the floor I slid it off the jack onto the floor because it wouldn't fit out under the car while it was still sitting on the jack. The next time I took the tranny out I used this, MUCH easier, hahahahahahaha
I don't think the quiklift goes up more than 24" does it?
