Dude seriously? Do you know how weak and porous those blocks are? Those things will crumple like a sand castle if they get a crack in them. All it would take is hitting it with a wrench by accident and those things will explode with that much weight on them. Dont be a cheap *** and get some jack stands, even cheap $40 ones are 100x better than a cinder block.

On a side note Im interested in seeing how this build turns out.

Cool. I just dont want to read about someone on here getting squashed by their car because they cut corners on safety.
My local news covers that enough.
Now back to the car.
