Lol...it just sounds worse than it is. There is no where for it to go. The line lock is on just to ensure the car will not roll fwd or aft. Same for the chock. The Jack stands are heavy duty and have a large perch. It would take some serious effort to get this thing off the jack stands. The real danger in this situation is ensuring you stay clear of the tires and moving parts.

Then you only have grown 2 inches per side and the three inch clearance to the ground is still good. Either that or youll have one hell of a 60 foot out the back of the garage

I said I jacked it three inches...bt it was probably a bit more. Not even close to the ground when spun up.
