Citidiot question.

[M92PV4U]

What is the safest way to support the front end of this suburban on jack stands on this driveway?
Facing up hill as or Facing downhill?

 

[Elwenil]

Downhill. Then it will be level.

 

[Motorcharge]

Sideways.

 

[Grnjp92]

Move your truck? And put it on a more level surface?

I don't wana, yeah probably should do that.

 

[Grnjp92]

I wouldn't be happy putting that on jack stands on that slope.

 

[WTF?]

Rear Wheels chocked and facing uphill . I’d take jackstands on sloped cement over level asphalt most days too.

 

[OutlawRider]

Chawlk the wheels 😬

Just because you don't want to pay my Ss is no reason to die! Lol

 

[SomeGuyFromOlympia]

do it in the street like a normal Hood Rat

That's where I changed the starer and change the oil.

I've done worse. I've pulled engines on slopes that I had to toss a chain under the engine hoist wheels to keep it from rolling, then use a 2x4 to inch it back uphill by levering it against the back of the hoist. Good times.

Chocks and parking brake. Uphill/downhill doesn't matter. Do what's convenient.

Still not a fan but you probably will be ok

Why would you have all people here assume a parking brake functions much less functions well on a 18-24 yr old vehicle? I expect better out of a ****box connoisseur.

 

[MigGunslinger]

I have a couple of 4x6s kicking around for just this purpose. E-brake and redneck wheel chocks and she’ll hold.

Give the front bumper a little kick and say “that ain’t goin nowhere” before getting under it if you still have doubts.

 

[Will12785]

Problem solved.

 

[Stingray]

Tie it to the truck in front of it, so when it rolls away, it drags the second truck over you. Then post in the D.R.T thread.

Move the vehicles, then demo the slab. Bring in some fill and level it, then pour a new slab. Park the vehicles back on the slab and do whatever you need. Once finished, revert the slab back to be level with the street.

 

[Ebs]

Downhill, incase the vehicle rolls I can stop it with a body part.

Drill a well, pump enough pressure that it supports the vehicle.... additional benefit.... keeps you cool as you work! Lol

 

[Ummduh]

I've never had a flat/level driveway. Throw some chaulks under tires on the downhill side and have at it.

 

[Hooligan]

Do it in the grass, so when it falls off the stands and makes you into a pancake you don’t stain the driveway. They can just wash your remnants into the lawn.

I was originally going to suggest mudjacking the slab up to level, but figured the excavation to lower it back to the street once finished would be too expensive.

If it was raised up level I'd finally have to build a rock crawler

 

[Grnjp92]

Jack the road till it's on plane with the house?👌

 

[Etyler2]

Downhill, nose down, on ramps.

I have to change a wheel bearing and brake pads.

 

[Grnjp92]

Just do it in the street or in your old man's shop.

 

[MigGunslinger]

How is he supposed to chase loose sockets into the gutter like an asshole if he’s not in the driveway?
