I use a two tone under hoist tri pod jack. It'll lift the front or back up high enough to place jack stands on the jack bridge...

I wanted to mark the runway locking points (maximum, minimum and everyplace in between). They help when I'm lifting a higher profile vehicle than the Z16.

Then I ran out of white tape...

Oh, that's cool. I had no idea. I wonder why they don't advertise that. I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in that sort of service.
