Best place to get 2nd jack and stands

[Tiger]

When I did my tranny... valve body only... I used rhino ramps under front wheels... and used two old 2.5 ton steel jack to raise rear end only for filling up tranny.

Good deals on jacks are Costco, Sam's... BJ don't carry them. Costco has aluminum good one if you can get em. So damn light! And fast going up (double pumps)... Good control down on the aluminum jack.

you will have to put some effort into it to lift the car because of the double pump that Tiger mentioned and its location but this is a minor distraction. A lot torque has to be applied... this is why the handle is relatively long. The jack weights about 48 lbs, and as Shogun says, don't be cheap...

No way! I just can't get my car up high enough with my current jack. When I do use it , it feels like it really has to work to get my car up. I hardly feel safe placing my jack stands.
