Blade change ramps

Hey guys, I'm wondering what you use to elevate your mowers to perform blade changes?

Today I bought a pair of plastic car ramps at Harbor Freight for 45 bucks. Their elevation is six inches. I can raise my deck 5 1/2" before driving up the ramps, so I should have plenty of clearance to remove and install blades

Those of you who don't yet have a good blade changing system should look into these ramps. You could set the ramps on a pair of perpendicular 2 x 4s if you need more height.

the problem with the ramps is that they get in the way under the deck when you're pulled up on them. I have the plastic rhino ramps and do use them periodically for vehicles and mowers, but the best purchase I made 3 years ago was a harbor freight mower lift for like $80. It's cheap, and it works 100 percent. Fast, easy, can go as high as you want, etc.
