Thanks. All good advice. I've been using my SUV ramps rated at about 6,000 lbs each. One under each wheel. I can do just about everything except remove wheels with them. Only problem is that I need more height to work comfortably.

I bought some Dura last aluminum jack stands rated at 2 tons each. But they are made in China. I can't find any that are not made in china. My Rhino ramps are made in the USA. What height do you set your jack stands to and feel safe?

I wish the jack stands had a top that was better shaped or larger to fit the jacking points better. You know more stable.
