working under the car
as above really, I am looking for something to use at home.
options are..
axle stands
ramps
ramps with the bottle jack on the front part to get the car higher
tilting car lift
what do you use, and what would get the cat the highest off the ground?
thanks

Axle stands & quality trolley jack. The most important thing is that you are on solid level ground & make sure the car is safe before going under it, never use a jack without a stand as they can suddenly collapse.

same as above I always use a good set of axle stands and a jack and always put my wheel under the side of the car aswell just as a extra safe measure I would rather the wheel takes the weight of the car if it did come down than me

I use the 6 ton SGS ratchet stands. Great quality.
Make sure you get 2 pairs.

Guys can someone show me a pic of where your putting your axle stands? I use the diff and front jack plate to lift either end up, but I've never really found somewhere I'd be happy to put stands, I haven't had the need to do anything under the car yet, but would like to know for when I do!
