If you are not lowered, you can probably back onto Rhino ramps without scraping the front in order to work on exhaust. I'd have to try it to see if you can drive forward onto them OK, though. But you can't do both at once. Also, if you want to change wheels, work on brakes or suspension, or lift the car higher, you still need to jack the car and put it onto something. Hard to jack the car and put it on stands unless you can hoist from a location other than the authorized lift points and then install the jack stands on those. Sorry I'm not familiar enough with the Z to know if there is a central rear hoist point or can jack the entire side up, for instance.

Use the rear diff as the jack point.
