That's one of the things preventing me (and the cost keeps rising) from getting a Quickjack. I'd be tempted to look under the cars too often and, like Overboost recently, would surely find things that "need" attention. 
Not sure if it would have helped during the E70 trans swap I am doing now either. Have needed a lot of access out the sides of the truck for both egress and for jacks to support drivetrain.
