Garage List

Efthreeoh You make many valid points, I agree jacking from the front and rear is better for the reasons you list. However, inside a garage it is hard to find the length in many garages, especially with the rapid pump jacks which have long poles. Something I outline in my video, they need more force to jack them up.

I would have to keep my garage door open to jack the rear of car and in the front it would be tight for room. That is the only reason I sometimes jack from the side but I make sure my jack rolls, I then put 1 jack stand and only do it when working for a small time duration (quick tire change), otherwise the car is on all 4 jack stands.
