    Default no jack stands

    I don't have any jack stands, anything bad about using my spare jack and cinder blocks? Only need one side up for about 10 minutes.

    cinder blocks are fine, just make sure they are in a stable place, like your axles, or the frame

    you dont need jackstands just something strong to hold the car shoudl it fall, Im used 2 X $ wood, wheels, bricks, whatever I had in my garage. I do have jackstanmds now though, just a little bit more piece of mind
