Just called into Halfrauds for some axle stands. Had this kit listed at £68 but on offer at £40. Bargain if anyone needs them.

I had one of those when I first got my E85. It didn't fit under the jacking points.

I just drive my wheels onto some short offcuts of plank. Then all my jacks go under.

Am I the only one seeing a slight irony in the fact that the box is a 2 man lift? :?

Could stick in on the axle stands. Then there'd be room.

But you have to jack it up first to get the stands under?
