Jackstands don't even think about using f.....g blocks of any kind shape or form! That way to much like ghetto mentality and just wrong!

i was mad nervous about doing this my first time.. never jacked up a car to take out all 4 wheels at once. i used a total of 3 jacks, one giant one for the back (placed it in the center) and two smaller ones on either side towards the front.

the jack stands that i had would require me to raise the car extremely high (which i was already nervous about so i didn't use them) i just left the car up on 3 jacks for a couple of hours while i painted my rims


when lowering i lowered the back first, then the front left side half way, then front right side half way, then left a little bit, then right a little bit, then left all the way, then right all the way.. i was super nervous about it tipping over lol

I've had to take all four wheels off my car simultaneously before. Just used jack stands at the jacking points, with zero problems. Had it up like this for a couple days, no damage to the jacking points.

You left it on the side of the road like that?

If I saw that, I'd drop your suspension out and leave it in front of your car just to giggle.
