Then raised the other side and install =
the
jackstand there.
Worked great. Didn't take long for my =

using double

I have used both factory jacks at once, =
one on
either side of the vehicle.
I was thrilled that you could do =
this.
After the van comes off the ground, if it is not on perfectly =
flat
ground, it pivots and falls to the downhill side, one or both jacks =
are
destroyed and fly about, and the owner becomes thoughtful about what =
just
happened.
