I just wondered what methods ppl use to access the underside of their AUs? I have 4 hardwood sleepers that I've cut into ramps so I can get about 5 inches of lift with the car level. I can then crawl underneath, but I'd really like more elbow room and clearance for a creeper. I'm considering investing in a trolley jack and a second pair of axle stands. Is it safe to get under a car on 4 axle stands? Is it safe to jack on the alloy front crossmember? Maybe with a block of wood?
PS: Just did a search on 'jack crossmember' and it seems it's one of those things that's risky but a lot a ppl do. (And expressly forbidden by Ford.) So let's not reopen that can of worms. Bit of a pain having to jack each side separately though...
