Default how safe?

today i found some ramp jacks. those things you roll up on and like your car is lifted. i was just wondering how safe are these? i was going to use them when i buy my sway bar so i don't have to jack one side at a time.

they are only as safe as your cars parking brake! which shouldn't be a problem!

only problem i can think of is if your car is too low and the ramps are too steep or something?

well, if you still got the receipt, just take them back and say you changed your mind, possibly talk to them about exchanging them for something else.

oh, yeah, "found" them...

keep them and use them when your change your oil. or can you unbolt your exhaust from the axle back? well, probably not without getting under it...but yeah, keep them and use them when your working under the other end of your car.
