I think the quick jacks are strong enough on most of our cars to pull the car up with a strap (which I now carry). I did not have a problem with the nose bottoming out, but most trucks have some sort of wood that will ease the nose up under the tires, I'm told. I have also been told that if your car is put up on a flatbed in the reverse direction then there is a danger to the windshield if the driver goes too fast. That may be true, or it may be a wives' tale....
