does it spicificly say for changing tires and such, or when they talk about jacking from the frame are they talking about for leveling/stabalizer blocks.. I don't ever remember anything about jacking to fix a flat or what not but I'l double check, may have glossed over that section thinking " who doesn't know hot to jack a tire for changing"
