If the drive wheels are going up the ramp, it's less of an issue. If the ramps aren't on drive wheels, the car is pushing them more, even when on the ramp.

@ImpendingJoker My 2000 Jetta does. Nearly had a heart attack when I went to pick it up from the dealer and they'd left it in gear parked 2 inches away from the car in front.

Yes. I was concerned about UV resistance too. It's very much an issue here where it's sunny so much. Even inside my shed, the light through the window has led to me going to pick up plastic things and just getting a handful of plastic debris.

@matthewmiller6068 I assume jackjohnsons was just using "axle stands" as a generic for jack stands and there's plenty of places to apply those. I always use ramps when I can though. Unfortunately, a lot of the reasons for getting a car in the air end up requiring removing a wheel or two.

@ihim7380 If you have the receipt (and they store all that electronically too), they should definitely refund what you paid. If you don't, that's a bit trickier. They should replace them with something equivalent or better if you're going for a replacement though.

It would have been interesting to measure the thickness of the steel on the metal ramps. I have a set that came with a set of car stuff from walmart marked down to $15 that have served me well for more than 2 decades.

The irony is, I do use my death trap as a car ramp on occasion.
