Stands w/the front wheels chocked.  Most of the ramps sold at your FLAPS are
just too flimsy to risk performing major repairs under...  IMHO.


Cheers,

I only use ramps. I launched my brother's toyota cresida over a set of
ramps.
scared the dickens out of me . tossed them in the dumpster. Still hear about
it and it has been 10 years.
What i do with the van is I use two jacks one at each point ( the factory
crank type)
takes anout two min to get it on the stands .
