I do hope you are saying that you sometimes use your trolley jack in ADDITION to the jack stand. Please, please, please do not ever get under a car supported by a jack only. No one is immune from a disaster when getting lazy about safety. Some years ago here on Long Island a vintage racer was crushed by his 1956 Jaguar when a jack collapsed. He'd been racing the car for decades and knew better. A senseless loss. -- Dave
