Sixto, Point taken.I'm just trying to find the safest way without the use of a workshop hoist.
Does your car in this picture have the plastic body skirts down the lower sides? I like where you have your yellow/black (?Crafstmen) stands, but I'm not sure that my car is that accessible to place the yellow tongue of the stands. Will check when my wife returns with the car but I'm pretty sure the plastic body on my car rolls under 2 or 3 inches covering the rail.
