I use a stack of 5/8"; 5 of them as I recall. Front air dam is very low. Drive up on these & jack away

I stapled scrap rubber from a bike inner tube on the bottom of the plywood to keep it from sliding on concrete garage floor.

I recently bought a 3 ton low profile jack from there and it has been great so far.

I had always bought name brand tools until I got the HF jack mentioned...the jack is awesome. As far as safety...I always use jack stands anyways. I liked it so much I bought a second one for my son.
