I have a four post lift.

Then I place tall jack stands under both ends of the deck to hold it up in case the mechanical stops fail. You can never be too safe under a car.

Starter, kudos for attacking this job but please stay safe. If nothing else, do me a favor and throw some blocks in front of the front tires to keep the car from inadvertently rolling forward.
No, Inwrote it off as he gave it a good stability check and the photo makes it look worse the it is! Great shade tree mechanic pic for safety ad!

I dont see any choke under front tire, if you keep the angle you might add a chalk block for some extra safety.

Be safe brother!
