We can use them here at work too (heh, heh).

Two things I am wondering.

Can you pick up the rear end with just one tire? > About 15,000 lbs per

the stress of lifting will still be there.

Also, the tag would dangle if not raised. I says in > the CC book to

Seeing as I have about 1,200,000 bolts to check > (ever read that part in

Thanks ...
