If you have a Quick Jack, you really need to do this hack. Costs under $10. It makes it so much easier to use. You can move them around and position them with one hand... I leave my QJ hooked up to the pump and positioned in the middle of my garage and park over them so usage is very quick and easy. I placed a 1x4 x 6' long board resting between/on top of them. This gives me a "guide" for my back up camera, so I am always centered over them. I also marked the garage floor with a sharpie so I always put them back in the same spot, keeping me centered in my parking space. Only takes me about 5 min to have my car in the air, including pulling out of the garage (also have floor markings to preposition the QJ when I want to lift with it).
