Step 2Elevate your car

Elevate your car
I got an early start. The pavement was slick with dew, so the ramps tended to squirt out from under my truck when I tried to drive up on them. So I tied rope to the ramps and drove over the rope on the way up. I still managed to almost miss the ramps as seen here. I tried again and did better.

If you don't have ramps, you can drive one or two wheels up on the curb. If your car isn't too low you can just crawl under it.

Do not trust ordinary ramps or jacks to keep your car off you. Use jackstands to keep it up.
These ramps are solid, so I didn't use have backup props.

If your car falls on you you don't save money by doing it yourself.
