I just lay down a couple small pieces of 2x10 to drive up on before the ramps (Rhino ramps) and it works fine for me (my suspension is stock).

Don't understand very well what do you meant for "play hell"

Is it dangerous? Or is it a way to say?

If dangerous why do you think this?

Allow me to attempt to translate. Yes, I've worked underneath mine while it's been up on front ramps only....and yes it is possible, but with my ample physique, forget about doing very much, since not all that much of me would fit under there...or it's "play hell", i.e difficult to get much done with the car up on front ramps only.

Your results may vary
