Common questions

What jack stands do I need?

A matched pair rated comfortably above your vehicle's weight, used on flat, solid ground at the manufacturer's lift points.

Are car ramps safer than jack stands?

Ramps are very stable for oil changes when used on level ground with the wheels chocked. Jack stands are needed when wheels must come off.
