2. It would still require me to slide underneath my car and be on my back. I much rather be standing and have free range of motions and have that extra leverage.

It has a mechanical locking mechanism. And it's honestly easier to do that work on your back than standing up.

Yeah, as Betty says, it's got locking mechanisms. As long as you have the locks on it can't actually fall. Regarding 2, I'm not sure in what world jack stands are better. A lift, yes. Jack stands, no.

I was saying that I much rather have the car on a 4-post lift so I can stand underneath the car, rather than using jack stands and laying on my back.

First dibs here... anyone need a front set of Hotchkis billet sway bar brackets?

I bought a full set, but the front bar I bought used had a set already installed. Probably hang onto the rear brackets. But I'm not planning to use a rear sway bar and could possibly be talked out of them, too.

Good Hand Washing Saturday Guys. Hope all of you guys are doing well. Not much on the list for today other than the usual Saturday stuff. 65* for a high today and a 50% chance of rain would be nice to help clean up all the pollen in the air. Hope you all have a good one today. Stay safe, stay positive and keep washing those hands.

Just finished reviewing the highlights of last night on this thread...

Rusty... Rusty... Rusty... I could not help but look that one think up.... and Yes, I do get excited about Bacon, but not quite like that...

However, here’s just a small snippet of what I found...

'WTF! Wait, was it regular or thick cut??'
"Thick cut, maple smoked"
'Niiiiice'
