Which is better Jack & Stands or RaceRamps

[Merlin_83]

Greetings,

Are using Race Ramps a better choice than using jack and stands ?

Seems like the race ramps are perhaps safer and easier to use

I was thinking the RR-XT-2 model - click on link below that shows the one I'm cosnidering.

How about changing tires or break pads etc.?

Like Mrae says, you can't change tires, brake pads on race ramps, you'll need a combination of both depending on what service you will be performing. I have both ramps and jack stands.

I always prefer ramps if they are feasible for what I need to do to the car. I actually use four ramps to get both the front and rear up in the air.

Depending on the job I'll use ramps AND jack stands.

I used both, ramps to get the front of the car up, and a jack and stands for the rear. If I was doing tires/brakes I'd jack the front off the ramps and put stands. I don't like jacking one side and then the other, and I couldn't reach the front center jack point with my jack without ramps. The ramps I had were a little low to work under the car - fine for oil changes, but I had to jack it higher and use stands to get it high enough to do things like change transmission fluid. Even on stands I usually positioned ramps as a backup safety device. I finally bought a small lift (Ranger Quickjack) and regret not buying it sooner.
