I had an idea, and let me know if you think this would work but I don't see why it wouldn't.... can you use two PAIRS of ramps at the same time so all four tires are on ramps?
You just place a pair in front of the front tires and in front of the rear tires and drive up...... right?:driving: I am asking because I never seen anybody mention it and just wanted an easy way to get the truck leveled but also have room under.

If your truck sits high enough that you can slide the ramps in front of the rear wheels to drive up onto them, then sure.
Most ramps are about 12" high, and the clearance under most vehicles is waay less, which would prevent you from sliding them under in front of the rear wheels.
 
I do this with my Mustang all the time. I drive the front on then jack up the back and place the other ramps under the rear tires. Works great.

I used to do this with two sets of Rhino ramps. It didn't turn out to be as useful as I had thought and I sold one pair and rarely use the other. It's rare that I don't want to either remove wheels or turn the drive shafts for lubing. Even if I just want more room for an oil change, I find it at least as quick to chock the rears, slide a floor jack under the bump on the skid to quickly get the truck in the air, and slide some stands underneath.

As I recall, getting up on 4 ramps simultaneously didn't always go smoothly and detracted from the expected ease and quickness. Using low range helps, but even that can be a pain if the truck is cold and you have to wait for the revs to come down before shifting.
