I am not keen on stands... FLAPS stands look like junk. plus, with a
small base, they cannot be very stable.

I have home-made ramps which are probably grossly overengineered
(solid, HEAVY). Only problem with ramps is that you can't TOW a car
onto them... they will just slide away unless you can fix them down.
They will resist driving-on too, if you want undriven wheels up.
