I use both depending on what it's for, any suspension work, jack and jackstands, a regular oil change, ramps.

 

I'm still a bit of a noob driving a stick. I went up my ramps once and about had a heart attack

~I just changed oil in both my civics and rotated the tires on one using a rolling jack and stands. I'm selling my ramps, they take just as long and stress me out.

 

I always use jack stands (don't even own ramps). You can cut the time it takes to jack up a car using jack stands if you jack the car up from the front (or back) in the middle. There is a spot in the front and back where you can jack up both sides at the same time.

 

i use jack stands but when i do use ramps i jack the car up first and slide the ramps under the tires

 

+1

 

I have never used a ramp.I have seen people and helped them you got to make sure the wheels are on the ramp strait,with a jack you just nascar it.

 

Always used stands-much easier to work with and as long as you place them on the frame correctly-they are just as safe. Ramps are nice ...if you have an automatic.....but thinking most of us don't

 

ramps are only good if your car runs

 

jack and stands for me...........none of my cars are high enough to make it up on ramps, even with the front bumper off.

 

just thought of one thing in favor of ramps.. they don't stress out old stiff axle boots as much


really I want one of those four point lifts they have at the muffler shops. Harbor Freight used to have a mobile one that looked kinda like a BIG pallet jack for less than $1,000
