OT: How many drive-on ramps do you need?

I've been doing some fall cleaning recently and I just noticed (think I have too much stuff?) that I have three pairs of drive-on ramps. Now, I don't do any work on armored assault vehicles, so I don't need six ramps at once, but do you even need four? For what it's worth, two pairs a rather beat-up light duty types, the other is twice as heavy with lots of welded bracing.

I honestly can't remember the last time I used any of them. I usually just jack the car up and use blocks or stands. So I'll probably just give away the two lighter pairs.

gee to work on a late model car with all the plastic in the front you need a new pair that was made recently.. neighbor loaned me a pair he had that looks like it would hold up a battle ship, real strong looking, but just putting the ramps in the front of the car it hits the front plastic bumper before the wheels even get close to the ramp.......

True, you need a 2-stage ramp. I put a 4" concrete block in front of the ramp so it will lift the front enough for the front bumper to clear the ramp.
