Removing exhaust using wheel cribs?

I have a set of Race Ramps wheel cribs and would like to remove the OEM exhaust.

Can I remove the reinforcement plate in picture 3 while the rear suspension is loaded?

those aren't tied to the suspension. And the torque on the bolts is really low.

Thanks nioh_lbbm2. I was pretty sure it wasn't an issue but all the videos I watched were using jack stands. I am really digging the Race Ramps foam cribs. At 5 lbs each, they are a decent cheap alternative to a QuickJack. Good to know they won't complicate my exhaust install.

Maybe this may answer your question.
