Message	to provide enough room to work, especially if you're trying to work on a creeper. I wouldn't even fit under the car on short stands w/ creeper, let alone have room to work on anything. As long as you're doing external work (swapping tires, brake service, etc.) they'll be fine, you're just limited in what you can do UNDER the car. ________________________________________ NA to TT, starting from the ground up...
