I do it all the time. I'd rather use a real jack, but if I don't have one available, I use the stocker. I can't use a regular jack stand, I have to use those low ones, since the stock jack doesn't go high enough.

i dont think its safe to jack your car up with a stock trunk jack. those are there for appearance purposes only. they are not meant to use.
i cant believe someone asked this question

hahah but to be on the safe side..if you gotta use that ghetto *** stock jack, just take the wheel off and slide it under the car so you wont get completely squashed..u may be owned..but not killed...

Hey it's your life
personnally I don't trust that POS stock jack for anything more than holding up my trans when change motor mounts out ect.
With the front bumper off the costco arcan will lift up to 21in enough for me to slide my whole motor out under the car with no hoist

exactly why you dont use stock jack stand...... One of my friends almost got his head chopped off when a jack fell ..
I Hardly trust only two jackstands when i'm under a car... Getting crushed is no joke... never get under the car with a stock jack........maybe to get the Jack stands under, but thats it.
