UNABASHED Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 stupid question I know and I've never tried for safety reasons, but there's nowhere to park on my street and my drive is on a slight hill. If I only need to jack the front have handbrake on and rear wheels chocked - is it doable or should I slap myself for thinking it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 my drive is on a very very slight slope, you cant tell in pictures but it never gives me a warm fuzzy feeling untill its on the axle stands. I chock the wheels and then take the handbrake off so it rolls onto them. the problem is that it puts a lateral strain on the scissor jack which its not designed to take and its poossible it will bend. it ifs a trolley jack, well they are on wheels, so that could end badly? so to be safe, No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNABASHED Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 consider myself slapped! Was just a thought as it's so frustrating either waiting for people to move cars or waiting for them to bi in or whatever so I can ask them to shift it!
