Lifting car on grass/mud

[Super Nintendo Chalmers]

Is there a safe way to lift the car on grass/mud surface using a 2 tonne jack? Following that, using axle stands?

I'm not looking to get under the car, but to work on the lower sills. I fear there won't be enough resistance to lift the vehicle and indeed maintain stability.

Any thoughts/experiences?

Couple of large blocks of wood under the jacks/stands should work to spread the load, otherwise you’re likely to sink....

I imagine it would need to be quite thick and strong?

Might need to make a trip to the local recycling centre..

a couple of thick pavers work well

Paving stones? I have a few lying around.

yep, I would double up with two but anything that can spread the load really

If you've got some paving stones lying around how about stacking them gradually and drive the car up and onto them, that would be a much safer platform ?? That's what I do when I need to get under the car, but I use planks of wood

Home-made ramps; nice idea.
