Good point.

I thought he was more concerned with having enough space under the car to do the work and whether or not the height difference would make a significant difference in the fluid levels.

Back in the day, the jack stands (concrete blocks and pieces of 4"x4"), were less of a concern than the jacks we used.

(ask ol @Tcoat how many times he had a car slip off one of those jacks) -
