the home made wedges work fine but so also does getting out the scissor jack and lifting the car high enough to get the trolley cup underneath the front cross member.

Haven't read the last couple of pages (late night), but I started off a few years ago using one Dad bought from Kmart for like $10, just the cheapy type ones. He bought it in probably the 80s, and it is still fine (still works) what... 30 years later or something? Not sure. But it has never needed topping up with oil.

I now have one I bought from Supercheap for $90. It's a 2000kg or so. I mainly bought it for the Kingswood, and also to have a better jack for the amount of work I now do. Haven't needed a low profile jack yet. When I was REAL low, none of the low profile ones would get under there anyway, so I'd use a scissor jack first to get it on the jack, or just lift the car up a bit by hand to get it on the jack.

As already said, always use stands. Screw type are preferable. They come in handy.
