Anyone done oil change on LC/LC without using ramps?

For FE - can you take off the front skid without removing the rear skid? I have a vacuum pump to change oil so only need to remove the skid to change the filter.

What are the preferred ramps everyone is using?

I have the $70 metal ones for Horrible freight in Florida, and the $60 plastic ones from Auto Zone in NC. I think the metal ones are slightly higher. But the plastic ones are definitely lighter and easier to carry around for storage. 6 one, half dozen the other.

Do yourself a favor, get the ramps. I also have a creeper from Horrible Freight. Helps a lot.

If you remove the skid for the filter, it also allows access to the oil drain plug.

I've been using my plastic Wally World ramps for the last 20 years. I'm still alive so appears to be doing its job.

Finally did 1st oil change with no ramps. I removed front skid plate and small cover on the back skid plate to get to drain plug. Oil filter came off easy with just a strap wrench. I was expecting it to be on much tighter. Drained oil with no mess. Hardest part was getting the front skid plate back on. I could not figure out how to get the 2 hooks on the front of skid to find their slot. I finally propped up the back of skid and moved skid forward and I could feel when the hooks went into their slots. Next time I will know, should be much easier.
