These ramps are great.

I either drive forward onto them (for raising the front) or back onto them (for raising the rear). I'm not sure I could get the GMC high enough to use them in front of the rear tires (if that's what you were asking). But YMMV?

When I'm working underneath - I use several axle stands to avoid the widow-maker scenario of a bag bursting or torsion bar failing.

They are also perfect for my lowered cars...
