    You'd have to find one with all four connected. Like a rolling platform.

    Jackstands with wheels will roll independently and your car will fall off LOL

      Not necessarily true. They are fine on a clean flat surface. But the transition from garage pad to driveway would cause an issue and it might fall.

      I have used some, but they were custom made from jack stands and wheels dollies welded together. Strictly used in the shop and on a flat slab of concrete.

        Yeah I guess that's true with a smooth floor. You'd have to be very careful and I'd imagine they'd have to be pretty large.

        I still wouldn't crawl under it.

          A guy in my local euro club made his own set of rolling jackstands, check it out. They work great!

            Looks great!

            On two only it wouldn't be bad. OP wants to roll his car in and out of a garage with four.

              2 would be more sketch than 4. Its all about the angle of force.

                only true if the stand becomes unweighted, OP. i've seen such jackstands at a training facility for my old job. just can't get connected with the right person who knows where to get them. they looked similar to aluminum motorcross stands with casters.
