For peace of mind... Once I get the car on the stands I grab hold and shake the hell out of it similar to what yanking on a wrench might do. If it's unsteady and gonna come off I'd rather it be before I get under there.

Good idea, I think I did that when I had the front up, thanks for reminding me..hehe
Is it safe to run the engine while supported on all four? I'd like to check where im leaking tranny fluid while it's up.

Here is another question.
Can you put jack stands under the shocks?
This would help with accessing all the bolts when torquing the suspension under a load.

Yes, but for some un-nerving reason the back tires will spin slowly even though it's not in gear (and parking brake not set). First time I did that I was like, "What the F did I break now?" I think it has to do with conservation of energy or some physics law I've long since forgotten. LOL!

I plan on pulling my gearbox this winter. I want enough room to use a atv jack to drop the gearbox and pull it out from under the car. How high have people had their cars up in the air on elevated stands. Is there a way to do it safely? I'm thinking 24"-36"?
You can't buy happiness, but you can buy a DeLorean and that's sort of the same thing....
I got the rear on some Rhino ramps and I want to try to jack the front up. Any precautions I should take?
