My thought was to have a second set of ramps under the back wheels as
well.
I think you could make some sort of contraption out of 4x4 to support the
IRS as you jacked the car up.
Put the second set under the back wheels let down the jack. I don't think the
car would be going anywhere at least no more than the Kwiklift system.
Actually, some of their warnings made me nervous.
Let me know where my logic is shot.
