Jacking Up All Fours Techique

[Brendan K. Walsh]

pnuematic axel lift with a 1"bar across just behind the jack points. lifts
evenly fom both sides,drop onto jack stands. Managed to pick up a pair at
auction for relatively cheap. You can actually lift the whole car front and
back and wheel it around on the lifts. Not that i'd recommend that.
