Was there a reason why you went to jack stands after already having the car elevated on ramps? Too difficult to move the CV axles around in that arrangement as @Qingdao indicated?




I’m probably going to swell the kwik lift and buy a new scissor lift for work/maintenance on all three cars.

Yes.. A.to be able to maneuver the axle's around,and B. I had to bang them out of the Hub,..and C. just more room to work with the added height plus the safety feature of the ramps.I generally have 3 safety feature's anytime I do any extended under carriage work.
