Chocks and stands are ALWAYS required when using a hydraulic jack. Unless you want 3000+ pounds of car sitting on your chest. All that stands between you and catastrophe is a cheap o-ring.

RTFM for jack points. Something you should know in case of a flat.

I like to get the highest rated jack that will fit the application. Some people are OK with 1.5T for a Z; I prefer at least 2T. YMMV
