    I use ramps to change my oil. 13000lb rated. Block the rear wheels and hit that foot brake.

    I drove up on 2 on opposite corners to check if my skid plate cleared the KDSS hydraulic ram. :D

    I wouldn't be afraid to drive up all 4. Like @canadian.bacon mentioned, set the E-brake!

    I use jackstands for oil changes, though, because I rotate the tires while it's draining.

    I use my ramps quite often. My 4Runner is still stock height, so not quite tall enough to comfortably work underneath. I only have two ramps though, the plastic Rhino ramps. I've had them probably 20 years now, I really bought them for a Trans Am that I had. Awesome product, I love them and have complete faith in them.

    There have been a few times over the past year that I've wanted to have all four wheels off the ground, so what I did was simply drive the passenger side of the vehicle up onto the curb, with the two ramps under the driver side tires. I live in apartment and street park, so I'm working on my vehicle in the street anyway. Luckily I live on a very wide street that's not very busy.

    Haha, I've done this a few times with mine, just messing around. I was just trying to see how much suspension travel the front actually had, I was actually impressed that the vehicle was able to stay level.
