You might try to get some of the jacks that have two arms that go under the tire and lift up the wheel. With two of these jacks you could pick up the front or rear without twisting the body.
Thanks but looks like those jacks only raise the car by maybe a couple inches from what I see anyway. I suppose if I really need to get under the car I could use my wifes 100s of Martha Stewart magazines to build a gradual ramp to then get a jack on each side of the car to get some jack stands under the frame. But at least I was able to determine if both #1 & #2 coils are good by hearing a click when hooking up either #1 coil or #2 coil on #2 valve stem and then press the up button. Of course the car won't raise since that valve stem air goes to nothing. Then neither #1 or #2 coil created a click when I hooked those up to #1 valve stem. So to me it seems something is wrong with #1 valve stem components or an air blockage. Best now I can do is try and get #1 valve stem out and take a look. But that bitch is turned into the block so tight I have to grind down a couple nuts and try and double nut it out rather than a useless screwdriver to the top. But of course now the weather is crap to mess with all this. So much for Southern CA paradise: high heat, high humidity, high taxes, but at least there's plenty of thongs at the beach and lotsa massage parlors on every corner just like Starbucks.
Next step (although block not removed from the car):
