eric, i was thinking about using the ramp for front wheels.. But rear wheels + 6 puck makes a fun combination. You could always gently push the car up the small ramp or just add the non-slip matting.

PUSH? And break a nail? youuu crazy!

I have one of these, GP Sports Quick Lifters, but I just use a regular jack with it.

For the rear I use the tow hook, for the front I drive up on wood and then use the tow hook.

I love how some people try to sound hardcore when it comes to jacking their cars up.

I actually bought the LDS ramps to help me load it on the trailer, I'd always used wood. I'm from Montana so I'm comfortable being seen as a redneck, but the lip on the LDS ramps make it much more stable and eliminates flying 2x4's when its wet out.

GREAT JACK!! BEEN USING IT FOR 2 years but it starting to fail.. slowly drops down, but still works great!! if only a little longer it can easily be jacked from the crossmember without removing the front bumper!
