"cribs". Just a few intermediary steps, but it's a cheap way to get the car up high safely for work. Essentially every level except the chocks on the front and back is screwed in upwards from the layer below.
Apply e-brake
-- Assemble 4 layers of wood, then set the front of the Zed on that, then raise the back 4 layers and set it on the cribs.
-- Return to the front, raise it, and set it on jack stands on the side points, pull out the cribs, and add the remaining layers.
-- Go as high as your jack supports. I have access to a taller jack that can be used after my low profile gets it off the ground.
-- Once its up and level, release
and reapply the e-brake to remove the tension from torquing around the car on the cribs. (important)
-- Getting it back down is the same in reverse.
You should use decent Torx or Robertson screws that are easy to remove and won't cam-out. The screws cost more than the wood
These are assembled with GRK 2-1/2" Torx screws. 14" x 19" and 15" tall, width is really only for extra stability.
I have 4 kids -- there's no way I'm leaving any of my cars on jackstands without me there -- so I use cribs for work that can't be completed in an evening -- using cribs is just cheaper than buying a lift and has a much higher WAF.
