Default Quick question

Can I jack both front wheels of my car using two spare tire jacks, or is this dangerous? Me and my friend are doing wheels right now, just thought it would be quicker, a quick reply is appreciated, thanks

Ryan

Why not just jack the front up by the cross member, this way both tires will be off the ground and you only have to use 1 jack.

but are the scissor jacks strong enough to hold that much weight, being that they were probably designed to lift only one corner of the car up....

you can do it, but put something else (like jackstands or a solid 4x4)

be careful
