Got it ...a bit of brain fade on my part. Yeah I have the same exact stands and ramps as you. I have spit them out on concrete let alone a shinny floor like that!!! I recall that Rhino only allows/intends you to use them to lift by rolling up the incline which seems to me that this would be much more stress than gently lowering down on top of them like you have done....must be a liability statement

I think one if my ramps can take 2000 lbs

Did the angle of the car downward to the front help with engine / trans out and back in?

I like a little carpet in my garage. Nice and low but still just enough there to get traction and not hurt your knees.


Also, put some plastic down for spots!
