The jack tray is VERY heavy. I use a bottle jack in the tray, and
place jack stands as soon as I have clearance. The bridge jack would
certainly be better IF it fits the midget. If you look closely you
will see that the spridget wheels will barely span the ramps (this is
because the clearance in between the ramps is including the lip for
the drip trays. I tape a line on my ramp so that I can get the midget
on the ramps without half a tire hanging off.
