Hi all,

I bought Big red 2 1/2 ton jack and 6 ton jack stand from Northern Tools. They look good and steady.

I lifted the car (placing the jack in the cross member) just an inch above the lowest height of the jack stand. I placed the stand underneath (the stock lift positions) and tried to lower the car so I could place it on the stand. But no matter how slow I lower the jack I feel the cars falls free on to the jack with a thud. Is there any trick that I should learn. I dont want to put a hole under the car.

Your wise words please.

Thanks
Arun
