Hey I don't have a car lift to lift my jeep up to work on it. What could I use that's safe to lift up my jeep on all sides? So it's even. My jack will only lift one corner of it.

Yep, same here.

Floor jack and four harbor freight jack stands.

Most floor jacks will lift from 5 to 20 inches. Measure from your jacking location to the ground and compare that number to the lift height spec on whatever jack you're looking at.

what are you planning to do to your Jeep once it is up in the air? That will dictate how to support it. Jack stands will be fine if you place them under the axles, but may not extend enough if you need to support it from the frame. I have seen several ways to put a lift under the jack stands ranging from wooden structures to cement blocks. I am very leery of that practice, but it can be done.
