Default USING CAR RAMPS AS STANDS (AXEL)

How do you use car ramps to hold the car up without driving on em, is it ok to jack the car up and slide under the axel each side.

Thanks

You're not going to get much ground clearance using wheel ramps, plus its a bit of a pet hate of mine using stands etc, i will only ever use them with a rag in between so it doesn't damage anything.

Buy some axle stands you can get the low duty ones fairly cheap
