My best friend died when his Nova rolled off a pair of ramps while he was changing out a U-joint. I have not had a set of ramps in my shop since.

I use some old screw type jack stands my Dad had and use the same method he used...I leave the jack under it, put the jack stands under it AND some wood blocks for a backup. (the wood blocks are 6x6 about 18" long, I have screwed together some in pairs to make a 12" high, 6" wide, 18"long block)

I've left trucks on the screw type jacks stands and wooden blocks for weeks.
