Yea I'll try driving up on wood, I really wanted a less nerve-racking approach. Since everytime on the exhaust it would pop the tips behind the bumprer fairly forcefully and the jack's arm needed to be positioned perfectly so that when lowered the arm clears in the wheel wheel. It sucked raising the thing as the clearance was only like 4" so it took alot of time to pump the thing up to a decent height.
Thanks
