i never use the stock honda jack. had one go on me while i was doing a friend suspension. He was screaming "The car is falling!" and I look to my left and i see his driver side fender heading towards me. So there is me pushing the car from the passenger driver side, and he's pulling from the passenger side.

long story short. we get the car back on the ground without busting or dropping anything. and take a break. i go to sears. buy myself the 3 ton Craftsman, and 4 jackstands.

the jack itself is called "bertha", the stick for the jack is called "cletus" we have a name for the jackstands too, but i forget the name.

anyways yeah. get a 2x4 and drive your car up on those in the front, and jack up the car. easiest way to do it.
