for mine n my g/fs car i use 2x8's or what ever to get the car high enough to get a jack under then use jackstands exactly the same places as mjr. safest possible places. ive heard horror stories with ramps.
i guess if you dont know how to use them...... just drive up..... they have a stop on there, and if you put the e-brake on when you go up the 5.0 has enough torque to pull up them but wont slip back, just dont rip the brake till you're parked. i've used my ramps for years
probably heard of people flying off because they never drove a stick up a set of ramps. lol
ah true, but it's not that hard, you get used to it, all i drive is stick
