I saw a crossbeam adapter for my floor jack advertised recently, and thought that it would be a neat way to lift one whole end of the car up at once. I'd likely position the jack far back, under the unibody rails or on the engine subframe mounting points. Then get the crossbeam adapter into place, and up that end goes! Then place jackstands without fighting the jack for room, and leave the jack in place for additional support. Any thoughts or suggestions about lifting a car like that?
My jack is a 2-ton jack, and neither car weighs more than 3300 lbs. Plus lifting half of the car at at time is well within the safe working range of that jack.
