To put under car braces on, I would strongy suggest you get the car jacked up as high as possible and you need to get stands under it. When

If you cannot do this, don't attempt it. Pay someone to do it.... or become friends with a mechanic and use their hoist

NEVER get under a car supported only by a jack. ALWAYS use proper support stands.

This has been a public safety announcement.

Yes guys. Don't use jacks. LAst thing you want is the car to fall down on you. 1.35 tons is not nice...

Its ok for changing wheels!
Just make sure the wheel u are going to put on is put underneath the car as u jack it up. Then when u take the the wheel off...swap them over.
By keeping the wheel underneath, if it was to fall, means that it won't fall all the way.

yeah for changing wheels its Ok,, its working under the car when you are lying under it that is a no no.
