Thank you for the reminder. I'll probably stuff a pair of jack stands under them.

I can't wait to swap to CV joints.

I hate to bump an old post but I wanted to let everyone know that I left it up on the Quickjack for the better part of the day and it worked flawlessly. The boards spread the load nicely along the sill and the car felt very sturdy while elevated. When I lowered it, there was no indication of any fracturing at the sills or above them in the shell. It also made no uncomfortable creaking sound while elevating which added to my overall comfort.
