Im not sure if those Ratchet Type axel stands if you can comfortable lift your cars height higher once youve lifted your car with the trolley jack? My axle stands where just the pin type and had no lever on it, so I could only get to use the first pin up, which was a useless height the same - (im 5'8ish and it wasnt comfortable working under the car at all.)

Dont know how frequent you want to work under your car in the future, but Id recommend a bigger heavy duty trolley jack + Axle stands. I prefer Ramps instead of Axle stands - due to more stability in my opinion.

Tip though: using ramps make sure you have someone checking you go up it, I always sh*t bricks going up mine in my civic (without that extension for lower cars)
i got the exact same jack as you i think, got it for $20.

Does the job fine, hasn't sagged or lost pressure on me.

my method of working under the car isn't safe for shit, but does the job.

i jack up 1 side, put a few yellow page books underneath, remove jack and jack up other side. thats it lol. OH&S whutttT?
