I've heard this suggestion before, but call me a wuss but I'm REALLY
reluctant to crawl under the truck with it on jackstands and the wheels
turning at 45-55 mph. I'm not a very lucky guy so I can see the jackstand
slipping, the truck falling on me and then running wildly into my house
with my wife at the wheel. It's a funny picture, but it could be expensive
and painful.
