I need these. They are awesome! Jack stands, sort of.
Holy alternative to Jack Stands.

Although I do like the cheapo wood ones below it.
Cool.

Cribbing pile should accomplish the same thing...

Pretty awesome for situations where you can have the car supported on its wheels. Even if you needed a wheel off, I suspect it would be easy to arrange with a jackstand on one corner.
Still, roll off could be a risk, and I'm just not a fan of stressing the car body putting 1/4 up like that. I think it's an easy way to cause steering pull and misalignment. So question becomes if factory Jack points for a garage jack (like a center front and center rear or differential case) can get the axle up high enough to do two at once.

Here's what I've been using since 2003: www.ezcarlift.com
Pricey, yes but amoritized over the years it's been totally worth it. My most valuable tool...

I couldn't agree more. EZ Car Lift is the best gizmo ever. For those that care, it's made in America by an American. Well, a Californian, actually. But you get the drift.

Yeah, I like the wood ones better. You can make 3-layer, 2-layer and 1-layer so you can stack any combination of 4 or 5 or 6 to get the height you need.

How many inches are below the tires? I can't find that info anywhere.
I don't know, my guess the clearance below the tires is about 12-14"
Of the cars listed in my signature, only my wife's Lexus can I drive up on my 4 Rhino Ramps. But, the others can be lifted in the rear and I can put the other 2 ramps under the rear tires should I choose!
And this is all fine as long as I am working under the vehicles but, not so good when needing to remove tires.

I missed how high they go (12-14"?) but if it's really 12" then I suspect you could just put them under a frame rail, or with a block of wood with a notch in it under the usual jack points.
Interesting concept. I like the flat base which ought to work well on dirt. Probably still some issues with using a floor jack (need another board to go under the floorjack, just like before), but still seems like a nice idea.
