I had the same thought. Maybe its just me, but there is no way I'd get under that car.

I have a four post lift. Before I get under it, I always lower the deck onto the fixed stops on the posts so there is an actual mechanical stop holding the deck/car rather than relying solely on hydraulic pressure. 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.

Flouese, 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.
