Header install on ramps?

Do you guys think ramps will give me enough height to do the headers? I'll jack the rear of the car up as well. I would rather work under the car on ramps than jack stands. I absolutely hate going under a car on jack stands.

I put car on ramps, then got jacks under front to about 16" to 20" and left ramps under just in case. Made me feel safer that way. I had rear tires on 4" ramp. No problem.

I guess I could roll up on ramps. Put my jack on a few boards. Then get the car. Up. Higher with stands.

Not bad. The rear of the car isn't even lifted. How many inches would you guys say those ramps are?
