    Nothing beats Race Ramps.

    They are exceptionally light, won't slip on concrete or asphalt and will even support a car on grass, sand and dirt without sinking.

    I just went out to the garage and checked. My Rhino ramps are by Blitz.

    It just takes a second or two for a L.E.E. to happen. That's a Life Ending Event.

    Worse yet is being injured and disabled for life.

    What's that worth? $200? or saving half of that on iffy unsafe ramps?

    You can slow down youtube

    Agree. Hydraulic jack at pinch point has been my SOP (standard operating procedure) on my hybrids (x4) at home on level concrete since 2008. In fact I can easily lift the whole side with one jack for rotations. I would never get under without premium jackstands even if I initially used a ramp.

    Exactly.
