Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / January 2008Raising one side of car
I want to raise my car on one side at a time to work on the rocker panels. Can I do this safely without twisting the car frame with a 2-1/4 hydraulic jack and two metal ramps. I was thinking I might need two jacks but thought someone might have a solution. I also have lots of big lumber pieces for support if I need.

If your frame twists apart, it's time to call the wrecker... Mike 86/00 CJ7 Laredo, 33x9.5 BFG Muds, 'glass nose to tail in '00 'New' frame in the works for '08.

Back up onto the ramps, done! \ \ R | | R \ and | = wheel R = ramp > Thanks in advance, > K Ulf |
