I was looking into these race ramps. Do they move around on you when you try to go up like those Rhino Ramps do? Some funny bloopers on youtube regarding those damn things..I put some yoga mats under mine but still a pain and now that im slightly lowered i dont think i'll clear properly.

All I would suggest is take your time and don't try to go to far up on jacking one side to put on jack stands. Before I got quik Jacks, I jacked up one side and tried to put one side on 4 ton jacks. The car did the jack stand shuffle. I let it back down Slowly and ordered Quik Jack for when I need the car fully off the ground to work underneath. I also have BMR Low profile rails and love them, Good Choice.

Yeah, it's important to get the right height on the jack stands without going too high. I prefer my 3-ton jacks as they seem to be just the right size overall and I've got the height dialed in just right.

that is why i do not use jack stands. the car is more stable with these car cribs, easy to make and affortable, plus your suspension is not stressed

It really depends on your needs! For me, jack stands are a necessity since I swap my rotors and pads before and after every track day, so cribs won't work for me.

Just install the rails while it is on the ground then life will be easier. Plenty of room and a simple install.

bought jack rails, found mid point to jack car up evenly on one side and place " car cribs" under each tire. repeaded process on the other side. was able to raise the car up 2 feet, giving me plenty of room to install LTH. With this method your suspention is not under extended stress. Works great and completly safe! I built these cribs using 2x4's supper easy.

I did the same for exactly the same reasons. Don't feel as comfortable crawling under a car on jack stands as when I was younger....
