Just get yourself a 2"x8" or 2"x10" to drive the rear tires up onto. Depending on your floor jack you may want to sandwhich two together to get the car a little higher up. Then you shouldn't have any issues at all lifting the rear.
Trip -- so how do you get both sides up? I'd be uncomfortable lifting up one corner then going around to lift up the rear. I think it'd be easier/safer to lift both sides at once and lower the car onto jack stands... eliminating the chance of knocking the car off of the jack stand on one side while you lift the other. |
I don't, I always raise one side to the lowest point of the jack stand, and carefully raise the other then go to back to the first jack and raise that only to return to the second and complete the raising of that jack stand to level the car. I know its quicker just Jacking up the third member but thats just me. I have concerns about lifting the car from the rear end. Maybe I'm just paranoid.
