Those wheel ramp things for raising a car

Daves69 having to jack one wheel up at a time kinda defeats the purpose if I had to do that I'd just put it on stands in the first place. You might try putting some kind of sticky rubber-like material on the bottom of the stands to hold them in place on the ground. Also that part you pointed out not having welds, it really doesn't affect the strength of the ramps anyway all the force comes down the vertical sections to the ground. As long as it doesn't bow out to the sides when you put weight on it it's fine.

Thanks for the suggestions MOPEkidD. In response to the OP's concern is why I commented. Realize I mean no offense here. We all have our preferences and concerns when lifting vehicles. For instance, in my truck, I have an aluminum floor jack along with the standard scissor jack that many are just fine with.

However, I feel we can agree to disagree on a couple points concerning the ramps. I disagree as far as "defeating the purpose" as I can achieve the desired result and I feel safer doing it this way with these ramps. I also disagree as you cannot place a jack stand under the tire to achieve the desired result and thus allow the vehicle to roll off. As far as the weld goes, I feel welded corners and maybe even a gusset for added support is not a bad thing. Overkill....?? Maybe. Over safe....?? Preference.
