Good old bricks and wood Smile

I used them wind up jacks before I lowered it even more (wouldn't fit under then) but broke two of them :s they seem far too weak ,

Just got a draper scissor jack for jacking it up high enough to get a normal jack in and it goes under fine and mines nearly on the bumpstops.

You can use the jack in the spare wheel to jack it up first but it's really crap.
