can i borrows someone jack lift and stands?

[Seks]

Was at princess auto few days ago but they sold out of that jack lift that's on sale. Was hoping to get it to change tires before today's snowstorm...but obviously not.

Got a rain check. They don't know when my order would come in

So anyone willing to lend me their jack lift and stands? Prefably NW

Why do you need jackstands? Do one tire at a time and just use the jack that came with your vehicle?

This.

I wouldn't use the jack that came with any car unless I absolutely had to. Those things are death traps. Working for dealerships over the years, I can't tell you the number of them that have snapped and dropped a car on the ground, or people looking to replace their's that have snapped.

Wrong. If you use a tire wedge on the front and rear of a tire resting on the ground, and assuming you are not a complete fucktard and keep jacking it up while the jack is on an angle and crawling under like that, it shouldn't fall. Or if you are jacking it up from the front sides, the e-brake should keep the car from rolling. It's the rolling that makes these jacks collapse.
