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.
