Right. Wondered about that. I guess even entering exiting driver door might shift things. Hmmm...... more logistics. When using jack stands I always support the van with blocks as back up support. I could at least tack weld jack stand feet to plate steel. 1' square per jack should keep it from sinking into dirt over time. -- Neil n Blog: Vanagons, Westfalia, general <http://tubaneil.blogspot.ca> 1988 Westy Images <https://picasaweb.google.com/musomuso/New1988Westy> 1981 Westfalia "Jaco" Images, technical <http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/> Vanagon-Bus VAG Gas Engine Swap Group <http://tinyurl.com/khalbay>
