It's best to get a set that has a rubber piece on the bottom towards the top of the ramp. The rubber piece helps grip so your ramp doesn't push forward. Had the ramps push forward with a metal set before.

Another trick is to take a 2x4 and a small rope. Tie the rope around the wood and put the wood in front of the ramp and run the rope under the ramp so the rear tires run the rope over. this locks the ramp from sliding. And you must do this on both sides.
The grey ones work great for me too

I thought it was a bit much too, but I hear that people like them. I may try using two sets of ramps when I start working on my El Camino, jack the front up, side ramps under tires, jack the rear up, slide next set under tires. The thing that concerns me when doing this, well, is the front tires rolling off the ramps when I start jacking the rear. Anyone tried this approach?
Black Rhino Ramps here. Car has SLP Bilsteins & Eibach package no problems with the ramps other than the 275's are a bit wide for them. Used mine four about eight years and they have held up very well. A++ and worth getting.

I feel more comfortable jacking the car up on ramps than I do on jackstands, plus the suspension is loaded, should you need it that way.
