Sean,

Good point, but on the CRV, I just loosen all 10 lugnuts, put the 2x6
between the top of the jack and the body member and give it a few
cranks. Both wheels lift off by an inch or so, I swap them, putting two
nuts on each wheel, and lower it back down to the ground.

Then I add the remaining nuts and tighten all cross-wise.

I'm glad you mentioned the earthquake risk . . . . that's one variable
I'd never thought of, and it's not entirely unheard of on the Canadian
Prairies. Thanks!
