I haven't used ramps in years. I have a 3 ton jack that ranges from 4"-20.5" and use jack stands, on both cars. Works like a charm.

Jack up car, slide ramp under. Best of both worlds. I currently use jack and stands but have.a DIY wooden ramp project for the fall. I might even make a few chocks/dollies to be able to remove the tires.

Problem is, wood gets heavy and not easy to store in above garage door storage.

I made my own out of some 2x10s ... Here is the best pic I have at the moment.

If I have the option, ramps all the way! So much quicker, easier and safer than jack stands.

Fair enough, your opinion and we all have one. Driving is a skill, not everyone has this, and this takes practice and hundreds of hours to do correctly, safely and abide by the laws. Common sense is not the same to everyone, nor does everyone posses, but are expected to. Judge, not everyone can judge distance with speed. Is this fair enough to say? Same goes with perceiving. So your "common sense", too me, is null and void. That's my opinion in a respectful manner.

Ramps aren't high enough to get the job done. You can barely get yourself on a creeper to do an oil change, at least with a slammed IS you can't. Not safer than stands. I've never seen an accident caused by putting jack stands on the correct position. Have you? You don't see shops using ramps, do you? They use jacks and stands. Yes they'll have hoists and what not but never a ramp. Why? Safety. There are more chances of an accident using ramps than a jack and stand. Can you tell me what jobs can be performed with ramps? Even Gebo said himself there was barely any room to perform his task.

Damn bro I've been meaning to cut up some wood like that but I'm currently remodeling our bathroom, should be done tomorrow. 2x10's are sick. I should rig something for the driveway cause my front end keeps scraping and I can't stand that. I use wood also to get our boat out the driveway, not fun to do.

Yeah the 2x10s are awesome.... Much more stable when you drive on them as they are as wide as most wheel setups.

I took a 10ft piece and cut them into 2 4' sections and 2 2' sections. Stacked the 2' sections on top and screwed them together. Added a 2x4 at the end to make it hard to roll off the end!

Finished it off by Cutting the edges with a saw to make a nice ramp angle.

Super easy and cheap, and now my low profile jack can slide under without hitting the lip!

how about these?

Those look good and are great to get the ryde up for stands, not heavy to lug around and compact.
