I think the key is redundancy. Like if one jack fails there are other supporting points to prevent an accident.
If I want it completely in the air, I use all 6 jack points.
If I want the front to be up, then I use all three front jack points.
Or if I dont need to remove the wheels, then I use the $50 advanced auto car ramp and the two front jack points with the scissor jacks as back up support
You get the idea, I would simply never trust a single jack/support
Also it helps to actually place the jacks on even surfaces. You'd be surprised how people misuse simple tools with catastrophic resultsLast edited by yhp2009; 06-13-2020, 01:33 PM.
