Let's get back to talking about chassis jack points.

To set this straight:
- a wood 2x4 has a low TENSILE strength, as witnessed when 3rdgenlxi can break them with his bare hands
- a wood 2x4 has a high COMPRESSION strength, as mentioned by Goodbar.

If you use 2x4's as ramps, that's tensile. If you use them on flat ground which supports the entire length of the 2x4, that's compression.

Now SHUT UP and LET'S GET BACK TO CHASSIS JACK POINTS!!!!!!
