The spreader bar lets me lift one end while the other is       on ramps, or with the higher Badlands offroad jack raise the ramp end enough       to remove the ramps if both wheels need to hang, as when adjusting steering       free play. Lifting all four wheels like a professional lift isn't as simple       as I'd hoped, neither floor jack goes both low and high enough.              I have a yellow Toyota Land Cruiser telescoping screw jack with plenty of       height capacity but too small a baseplate to trust if the other side's tires       are off the ground. It's nice as a horizontal bandsaw stock support.       https://www.cruisercult.com/post/land-cruiser-tool-kits-part-4              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
