"Lesson learned, use Rhino ramps on rough surface like the driveway, as opposed to smooth surface like the garage, they can slip a bit when mounting them."
I found a spare tire, lying flat, butted up against the rear of the ramp, stops it from slipping.
"guess you will tell me to buy a floor jack."
I'd like one myself, but cost aside, they take up room.
"All I have right now is my car jack by the way"
It bugs me that there are only 4 jacking points for the jack provided. And even if you go to a floor jack, you only get a couple more (axle/diff,front cross member).
"And also proper placement & location of stands."
For the rear, the axle "outriggers?". For the front, the front cross member though I haven't tried it because it looks slippery. Instead I use the short crossmembers under the front seat area (not the transmission one).
Note: I share the weight between the axle stand and the jack
"and get real uneasy under a car, which makes me want to be real cautious"
Good to be.
BTW, I've noticed on a previous post that someone said they use the jacking points for the jack to place their stands. Don't know how that is done if the jacks are there.
