Ha ha, I can see the impression of the board you put the jack on under the rear.
You had me for a few seconds though.

I don't trust the back ones (have a set too) and love the front ones (have a set of those as well). Front ones are the best, a little lower, longer ramp and sturdy.

I have a set similar to the rears, but with extensions so I can get the car up on them. The front valence still catches but only just. they're good and sturdy. Nice try though. I know for sure you can't get them in front of the rear wheels though.

Like 84 stock says, those front ones (rhino 12,000 lbs) are the bomb. A little wider and not as tall as the older metal ones (the ones in the rear, 20 years old and recently painted) so I don't have to use the 2" x 8" x 4' helpers anymore. I don't have any trouble driving my stock 84 GSL up on those rhinos.

And yeah, like Stevan noticed, I jacked up the rear end and put the rear ones under, didn't drive up with one shot. Got cha'.

I'm a bit surprised this got moved to the non-technical section. What could be more technically important than safe jacking and ramping methods?
