Whoops!
« on: May 24, 2008, 10:12:19 PM »
This is what happens when you use a hi-lift jack combined with a floor jack and some jack stands...  I should have had my tire on the right front wheel instead of a jack and jack stands.  I used the hi-lift on the left side of the bumper to jack it up so I could put in my new shock.  When it started to get tippy, I shifted the jack to the lowering position, but still had to go up a notch to release the pressure on the jack.  That's when things got shifty...
