You think these are high enough to crawl under for an oil change?

(Using the four 5" height, under all four tires unstacked)
Should be around 12" pan to floor. Stacked as pictured is 10" high

Yes, that will work for changing the oil.

Not sure why you would use these instead of Race Ramps that you can drive up on.

I use two pieces of 2x10 under the tires - drive onto a single piece, then onto a double-stacked piece - front only. No issues for an oil change.

Except you leave some oil in the pan that way with the drain plug location on these cars.

The resultant difference in height of the car can easily be offset by doing this on a slightly pitched driveway. Oil remains in the engine to a certain degree no matter the specifics of the car's orientation to level when drained. The fact that the V8 version refills with 10 quarts also diminishes any small amount of oil left behind.

Do you have the ramp version? I have the cribs as I usually put the car up without someone near by to help/direct, do the drive up ramps slide ever or is that a non issue?

The other reason I chose the cribs vs the ramps is storage and transport felt like it would be easier for my needs.

I have the one piece ramps. You can also get two piece ramps, which improve access from the side once you drive up, and would be easier to store. I don't have these because I was an early buyer of Race Ramps before the two piece configuration was available.

The idea that you are leaving a significant volume of oil behind is nonsense. The drain hole is at the rear of the oil pan so there's little or no difference from being level. Plus, how much oil do you think is left behind?

The ramps I'm looking at are $389
Never felt assured when going up ramps like its MOAB

The blocks on all four allows for complete inspection fore & aft

I drop my oil pan on every oil change and hand clean all the old oil.

Nothing but the best for my baby!

That does seem to be a pretty outlandish statement. Even if it's sincere, it doesn't do anything about all of the oil that remains in various passages and such in the engine itself.

I dissemble the entire engine and hand wash each part to ensure all old oil residue is removed 👀
