I have honestly never used the VW jack in 15+ years of Vanagoning--can't
recall a flat tire on the road.  I still have the original spare that came
with my brand new '86.    I would guess you could raise one side and put it
on a jack stand and then raise the other--if the ground is level.  I have
raised the front end using a floor jack under the front crossmember.
