You guys aren't actually getting under your car with it being supported ONLY by a floor jack, are you?

I modified four jackstands because I needed to remove the sheetmetal brace and diagonal arms to do some other work. The manual says that in order to remove the brace and arms, the car must be up and off of the suspension and evenly supported at the four jack points. You could do this with normal jackstands, but I like the added security my modified ones gave me.
The floor jack pad would be used to lift the car to remove a wheel. Maybe for brake work. Definitely never to get under the car!!
