600mm is too high for car ramps, no?

Sounds dangerous mate. If you drive the front wheels up on 600+mm ramps, you then got to jack the back up the same. Its a long way. You'll at least need two heavy duty car stands under the diff to support the thing.

And even then, you'll be under it, heavin' and hoin'. And it aint no trim T5. Autos are a pain.

But good luck.
