It can be difficult enough to get a car onto one pair of ramps let alone
syncronizing two pairs. Ramps sometimes skid when driving up the ramp. If
only one set skids a one end up and other end 1/2 way will result.
When driving up 4 ramps, the effective incline has doubled making it even
more difficult.
For most work, jackstands are still the way to go. Buy a good set from a
company that automotive repair garages buy from: Blackhawk, Lincoln, Walker
and others. Do not under any circumstances but a cut tube jackstand. These
are made from a 3" piece of exhaust pipe cut three ways then the metal bent
outwards to form three legs. The saddle adjusts by moving a pin.
Better stands have a ratchet for adjustment and a handle to release ( and to
carry the stand.
