Thanks for all of the safety advice. 

I have a 4 post hydraulic lift and am very safety conscious .

Having been caught once, I would recommend that 
you use the jack stands and back up these with 
solid timber blocks. Backups never hurt, and 
could save your posterior. Even better is take 
the car to a garage or station and run it up the 
lift for a quick check. Could make a difficult 
job much easier, and safer. Sometimes working 
under a shade tree can have it's pitfalls.
