I use the electric hydraulic lifts in my garage.
I find them infinitely better than spare tires, cinder blocks, or sheet metal
jack stands.
And if someone is stupid enough to go with my joke and use bricks, blocks, etc.
you will deserve what you MIGHT get.

Per the list discussion recently on why not to use cinder blocks to support a
car, here's a graphic reason not to use cinder blocks to support a car you're
working under.

I use spare tires under each frame rail(and even if the car falls and deflates
the tire, which is not likely) you've still got 6-8 inches of steel wheel
keeping the car off your body.
