An air jack won't work on twin exhausts unless you plug one of the exhausts.... |

If you mean the air jacks used for off roading then by time you've set up the air jack and pumped it up high enough to get a wheel off the ground you could have lifted it on a trolley jack and had the wheel off. OK for an emergency on soft ground but too cumbersome and slow for working on a vehicle (I tried mine at the weekend). If you mean professional air jacks with a proper compressor then they are pretty good but expensive and need a compressor. |

You don't want to be under it, setting axle stands with an air jack, if it burst, or more likely slips out you'll have a Range Rover on your head....
