4 Rhino ramps to lift car
Have you guys ever done this? I have 2 Rhino ramps and a set of jack stands. I'm thinking of buying another set of the Rhino ramps to get the car level and safer in the air. It won't be as high as jack stands, but should do the trick. And or course you can't take of the wheels via this method.
But any brake or suspension work I typically would use the jack stand for that particular corner along with a wheel chock. I have an aviation wheel chock, so it's not going anywhere.

The Rhinos are good to hold the car up alot steadier than just floor jacks; more suface contact with the tires. and
I would use them for longer term jobs. then you can lift with a hydraulic jack and replace with a floor jack as
needed. I think you can drive onto the rear ramps in reverse then jack the front and replace with ramps. GL

Works either way I suppose. I have 2 ramps and 2 jack stands, so I need to buy a set of either to get the car up level. I won't be removing the tranny myself, but just other maintenance (oil change, tranny fluid change, plugs, etc.).

I guess I'm just thinking that if you're going to use either/or I'd go with jackstands since they offer more security, higher lifting, and the option to leave the wheels on or take them off.

I'm curious as to why you think that jackstands offer more security than having all 4 tires on ramps that can support 10,000lbs.

Aren't 996 rear tires a bit too wide for using these?

Use on vehicles with a MAXIMUM tire width of 9.5 inches...265 rear tires = almost 10.5 in.

If you are removing your wheels, then I agree with you. Didn't think of that.

I've not actually had a chance to try mine out yet, but they are very well built.
