Thank you for the tip but I am not really sure where that is your talking about. Yes the photo is somewhat confusing but it would be on the flat part behind that angle.
I don't have anything else as far as stands go but I am not going under the car, I am just going to be servicing the brakes.
Im going to make a 2x4 "log cabin" to put under the rotor, leave the jack stand and also put a little pressure on the frame with the actual hyrdraulic jack just in case.
