Every time I put a jack stand under my '60 I wonder if there are any that are shorter than the ones I got in a package deal with my Sears floor jack. If I jack it up from the side and locate the jack far enough back to get the jack stand in front of it on the frame I have to go up so high that the rear wheel comes off the ground and the front is way higher than it needs to be. that's just to get the stand in there at it's minimal height. When I let the car down onto the jack stand the rear wheel sits down. Obviously I'm jacking the car up near the midpoint of the cars weight for this to happen. Then when I go to the other side it makes me nervous that the stand will slip when I start jackin' and the same thing happens on the opposite side (the rear wheel comes off the ground and the front is way higher than it needs to be). Seems like a shorter jack stand would alleviate this problem. When you guys want to pop both front wheels off how are you jacking up your C-1's and how do you make out with your jack stands? :confused
