Safe ways to work under car?

[Dynamic Dazz]

I have a ve wagon and was wondering if this is a safe way to lift car and work underneath.......Drive front wheels onto ramps then jack up rear putting axle stands underneath

Edit....just thought maybe better to drive the back wheels up on ramps so handbrake will work

Ramps fine as well.

I either ramps up front or rear, usually rear and stands on the front and also the jack

Getting my car on ramps for the front being lowered vehicle is a hassle even with a brick at front of ramps to help with clearance, always find i push the ramp forward even if i have rubber/cardboard/material on under the ramps

Personally I prefer to use axle stands on all 4 corners......Front 2 stands, under the chassis section, near the A-pillar.....The rear stands, under the lower control arms, or the control arm mounts

I have holes drilled in garage floor, tent pegs go in hole and the ramp sits up against the pegs stopping them sliding

Often wondered how safe it would be to make stands out of three 75mm thick sleepers the wheelbase lengths on top of each other each side of car with ramps at the front staggering the sleepers to form a ramp

It has been done.
Can`t remember where I saw it.
Good old goggle.

I know a couple people that do this, but there is something about this setup, where I would never feel right about going under the car.
