      Do you think it would be possible for you to lift the front end, just high enough to get the front tires half way up the ramps on the wheel ramps. Then just drive the car its self up the rest of the way....with the tires on the ramps, you don't need the other two jack stands, unless you want to replace the front brake pads or to pull a front wheel off for some other reason.

      Safety first last and always. I would never even consider driving up a pair of ramps, as a former mechanic I have seen many accident with ramps. The ramps are there just in case I rely on the jack stands placed under the frame.

      So 1. Put rubber chocks behind and infront of the rear tires.

      2.jack front up

      3. Slide ramps under Tires

      4. Place jacks stands under frame adjust height.

      5. Lower car onto jack stands and ramps height is just enough to allow oil door to open so the suspension is compressed 1/2 way in the front.

      6. There are a second set of jack stande not shown I place these under the sides close to the pinch welds just touching not supporting.

      6. Leaving the floor jack in place I now shake the he'll out of the car if it is going to drop then do it now not while I am under it.

      Paranoid youbetcha !!!!

      Just did my first oil change and tire rotation @ 5035 miles.
