Message	I keep the car on 4 jack stands, and I move the jack around to whichever side I'm working on as a 5th support point, solely as a backup for peace of mind. If gravity turns sideways and kicks my stands out, I want something else under there with me so I don't become the failsafe jack stand. Cheers, JBrobst
