Ok, Advice please? I have been searching for a hydraulic trolley jack to lift my D1 onto axle stands, many that I have seen have a max lift to about 430mm, I havn't measured exactly by my front axle is about 400mm off the floor anyway. From a safety point of view, can I put the jack on a block and use it anyway or should I hold out for a higher lifting jack? If so, what sorts of heights are available to Jo Public as the normal sellers, Halfords etc only seem to provide for cars? Thanks in advance
 
I use a mercedes sprinter bottle jack off fleabay, cost around £35 quid. Chose a good supplier though.
I've stood a jack on a large block of wood, but of course would never climb under a motor without it being on stands.
