Message	stands for each of the wheels. Car was very stable and about 14 inches off the ground. I was pulling the engine so there was no need to pull the tranny out from under the car (ie., car needing to be about 18 inches off the ground). I just rolled the tranny to the back of the car on the tranny jack. Nice thing about that height - worked well with a crawler which makes getting around under the car a breeze....
