Using 2 sets of Rhino Ramps

How safe would it be to use 2 sets of 12,000lb Rhino ramps to lift a SC300? I want to remove my exhaust and I dont trust jack stands, while I dont fully trust Rhino ramps I feel more comfortable with the ramps rather than the stands.

Pretty safe so long as you trust your parking brake and transmission to keep the car from rolling back. Then again so long as the car isn't on a slant those ramps have lips that would generally prevent a car from rolling back down regardless anyway.

I'd be more likely to trust four rhino ramps than 4 jack stands, actually.

Yeah I do, but I was also going to put wheel locks under the tires as well.

I have had abn Expedition up on 4 Rhino ramps and not had any problems. Shouldn't have any problems at all. Top of the ramp has a very small bowl to keep the car from rolling backwards.

That is great to hear

. How did you go about getting all four wheels on the ramp? Did you drive up the front ramps then jack your car up in the back and slide the ramps under or did you drive up on all 4?
