Default Undecided about lifting with pictures

I’m trying to lift the vehicle in the air using 4 rhino ramps



Question 1



Is it best to drive the front tires on the Rhino ramps first

Then lift the rear diff in the air and slide the other ramps under the rear tires?

Pros and cons?

One con is the front tires are not locked in place and can roll



Question 2



Is it best to drive the rear tires on the ramps first

Then lift the front in the air and slide the other ramps under the front tires?

Pros and cons



Question 3



Can I physically achieve this goal of lifting the car with the small hydraulic jack I have. See picture.



I know my jack is small and sub optimal, but can it be done or has anyone achieved it using this type of jack?

There's so many of possibilities. I've seen a lot of people, just jack up one corner at a time, and use four jack stands.
