OP needed on floor jack
What have people bought and tossed aside? I'm considering getting either a Michelin 3 1/2ton or Sears 4ton. My current jack can't get high enough for me to use my 6ton stands. I won't get under the car until I can use these stands (they look like HF). Does anyone use a crossbeam adapter?

I like the Sears 2 ton aluminum jack. A block or two of wood is still occasionally required...
6 ton stands are pretty tall, you will probably need a block with any jack unless you get one of those enormous bus jacks.

You do if you want the car higher than the ramps are...
The "rhino ramps" I have are only 5" or 6" high. That's (barely) enough to crawl under and do an oil change on the S4 (much lower than the A6) but not much more.

I have the ramps
Just wondered about jacks and cross beam extenders. I use the ramps for the quick and dirty jobs but they don't work when needing the wheels off. I also can't remember what the ramps are rated at as they are the old metal ones. I guess it calls for a trip to Sears.
