I'll have to crawl underneath the car tonight and get a better look, but I'm still having a hard time visualizing where to put the jack if I were needing to jack up the front of the car. It looks like the jack stand is inboard from the front tire(s) and back just a bit, correct? And the picture is taken looking toward the front of the car, correct? When you say "jack pads", is this the spot on the outer most part of the car just behind the front wheel and in front of the MB jacking hole?

For the ramps, I assume you jack the car up until the wheels are high enough to get a ramp underneath, then you just slide it under? Do you do one wheel at a time or jack up from the middle with blocks behind the rear wheels and slide both ramps in?

So, with the ramps under the car, do you then lower onto the ramp and leave the jack or pull it out? Do you just ratchet up the jackstands so that it's snug, but doesn't take any weight off the ramps? Do you have jack stands on both sides?

So many questions Thanks for the help.
