Jack stands vs. ramps

[904dr]

These make oil changes quick, I don't trust jacks. Plus i don't have to worry about hitting my front bumper.

They're kinda over priced though.

Yeah, overpriced is an understatement.

Jack stands are the only thing I'll ever use.

With jack stands, you use these....

With ramps you can only lift one end of the car and only to X height. With Jack stands you can lift the entire car to as high as the jack or stands will allow you.

Jack stands all the time. I dont trust ramps, never have never will.

I don't like ramps

I don't feel comfortable driving up them

Also its a pain in the ass in a manual

WELL i used to use ramps when i didn't lower my car....now i have no choice in using jackstands lmao lmao

So what's the BEST way to make sure my car won't fall off the jack stands? I already pull up the e-brake real tight, position the jack stands under the correct jacking points, and hope it doesn't decide to fall off.

I'm sure I'm overreacting to it, but it's this nagging fear I have and I can't shake it.

Don't get in your car and try to drive it

To tip over a jack stand takes a bit of movement

i like jack stands but I cant use ramps anyway.
