jacking up the edge

[bigk40plus]

I service my own cars. I did my first oil change. I have a floor jack and when I was going to lift the edge from the front I notice that I was not able to lift the front from the center of the car also when I lifted it from one side it wanted to bring up the rear wheel.

 

Looking for digestions on a better way to lift the edge....pic are welcome

Get some rhino floor ramps - they work great and are much easier and safer than the floor jack.

 

The floor jack is meant to be used in the normal location - just behind the front wheel and just in front of the rear wheel. It's not designed to be jacked anywhere else. It will lift up the rear wheel because it's a unibody design and relatively stiff - that's normal.

+1 on the ramps. I never jack up my cars unless i need to take off a wheel or take weight off suspension.

For oil changes... get a creeper no need to lift the vehicle.

 

For things REQUIRING lifting of vehicle, jack each side at a time and put a stand under each side.
