Need help removing jack stands, yes the question is serious!
YES THE WORLDS MOST FN STUPID QUESTION
somehow my dumbass raised the back end so high and got it on jack stands I've having a hard time figuring out how to remove them.
I don't know wtf I did to get them so high, but I cannot figure out how to raise it enough to get them out.
My stupid pos duralast jack only goes so high, or should I say low. So now I'm trying to backtrack, figure how what exactly I did so I can lower my car back on the ground.
Please, anyone with any common sense help me. My car's about to end up in a thousand pieces any second now.

Why not stick a piece of wood on top of the jack and jack the back of the car up with that then remove the jack stands?

maybe you can make use of your scissor jack too?
try using another jack point such as the ones underneath the doors or some other location that is away from your jack stands. then lower the vehicle one side at a time.

If you're going to go out and buy another jack, just go get some 2x6s or something. I would lay the jack on top of something instead of something between the top of the jack and the car. I would think that would be more stable.
Just a thought. Did you possibly jack the car up by putting your jack under the lower control arms?

I always just jack the rear up on the front and rear toe hooks and put the jackstands under the factory jack points near rocker panels. *shrug*

Wow, a honda treehouse would be cool. Talk about climbing up a tree and not being able to get back down. Call the fire dept.
