ok cheers Keith will do
ok thanks Av you got blocks ?Spread the weight very well on block paving - as its loose layed over a layer of sand; you could easily displaced a few blocks at a time with the weight of a Range Rover
) and a slabbed driveway that was done ~13 years ago. 450mm^2 ~30mm (looking back, should have gotten thicker slabs, and bigger ones at that, the larger 600mm^2 and 50mm at least. Big heavy and don't move very much) slabs layed on several tonnes of sand that was leveled and flattened etc etc. Ideally it would have been mixed with cement and then a cement and sand mix brushed into the gaps, but only sand was brushed into the gaps and its turned out okay...
I have a Range Rover (albeit the better version, Classic
Now its fine jacking up the RRC, but I always put down either 1/4" or 1/2" sheet ply that I have cut into squares. I have four, one for each axle stand if needed. Their area is bigger than that of the axle stand so the weight is spread further again.
After 13 years or so all the sand has compacted, the slabs have settled etc so its fine now and I haven't had any stability issues. But on a freshly layed blocks I'd take it extra careful.
I laid 6,000 blocks at my house in the UK, still good after 13 years when I had to sell up. A single block heavily loaded will either sink evenly or tip if the joints are not tight.

You don't want a trolley jack to dig in, it needs to roll as the arm moves through it's arc.+1, the jack will dig into the wood so it won't slip.
How will that help if you are jacking from the side under the chassis?
