Race Ramps. If I need to remove a tire then I use a stand at the one tire location.
If you are doing a complete front end or rear end. I still used the ramps for at least 2 wheels.

These jackstands will not scratch your floor or your frame.

An interesting side story related to the subject. A neighbor in Hawaii had his 80 year old Mother living with the family and we happened to be talking one day about how frail we all become with age. He then told me how as a teenager he was working under his (full size) car when it fell on him, pinning him so that he could barely breath. His (all of about 5'2" but much younger) mother came out of the house and found him gasping for air. He said she backed up to the bumper and lifted it enough that he was able to squirm out from under it. I know we've all heard these stories, but I had never actually met someone who was involved in one. I never saw her the same way after that.
I don't know if cinder blocks were involved...
Good luck and be safe out there... GUSTO
