Message	even when I drive up on 2x4's, it's too short. You're right though, instead of lifting from the sides like I always do, I should think of getting a decent floorjack that'll reach the crossmember. I'll look into that. _________________________________________________________________________________ Im n0t Sarcastic (Kenny): not to over do it, but you're certainly the source of high-class Z mods ZEngineer24: what do you mean by that?
