A jack is basically suicide tbh. Jackstands are fine, provided they're used correctly.
Ramps are nice, provided you don't need to take a wheel off, then you're using jackstands anyway, so, if you're buying one or the other, jackstands are a good option.
Personally, if you have the space for it, a trench is the best option, I had one previously and I miss it alot. Nothing leaves the ground, car just pulls in and is ready to go. Mine was like 2ft deep, so, maybe a little cramped, but very comfortable once you're in there working. You couldn't make a standable trench at home without engineering it anyway, so, a crawlable trench is really the way to go.
- the__alchemist 3y agoIMO a trench mitigates the danger effectively.
- WalterBright 3y agoThey're against the building code around here.

- Arrath 3y agoMake sure it is shored correctly!
- thimkerbell 3y agoBut fumes can collect in a trench, is that right?
- darkr 3y agoAnother option, if you’ve got the ceiling height is a proper 4 post lift. Expensive, but you can justify it by doubling your car storage space.
