cribs for oil change

I bought the race ramp two piece wheel cribs for the first oil change in my camaro. Is it recommended to raise up the rear wheels also for better oil drainage? When using the drive up version only the front of the car is raised so I guess its not that important but just looking for advice. Thanks.

Oil drain port is on the aft of oil sump. Front end inclination is not a bad thing. The oil will drain a little faster with front end inclined.

For a quick oil change having the front end in the air works just fine. I agree with what OneLapWonder said too.
