how are you guys putting your MB on the jack stands?? my sears jack stands have Y-shaped tips and these don't fit the MB rubber nubs at all. any ideas..???

Those are for using a lift.

I put jack stands where the suspension pieces mount to the frame.

Check your PMs.

Do you get jacks & jackstands EVERY Cristmas ?
You seem to have more than Sears.

Manny, lots cheaper then having a dealer do the work or even and independent. Know your kidding!

I have two floor jacks (just that in the pictures once I have the car on jack stands I remove a floor jack to raise wheel/control arm). one floor jack is a small silver two ton that I bought years ago at Sears for not much.
The red Sears racing jack I bought on sale this past July for around eighty, I think it is a 2 or 2.5 ton rating, but if I had to do it over again I'd get a higher rated model for around forty dollars more.

The jack stands are just under $200 total, and I figure they wouldn't be hard to resell, so maybe not a bad investment.

Also I use FOUR wheel chocks.


I am very happy with the AC flat top jack stands but would rather be lifting the car with a high quality pair of AC six ton rated floor jacks.
