What ramp do you use?

Mike · 12-17-2012, 10:34 AM

I have these:
TAKADA LDS

Car too low for a hydraulic jack to fit under? Use these low down slopes to help raise up your vehicle.

These plastic car ramps are sold in sets of 2 and also work great for those low profile cars that you need just a small amount of lift to get a hydraulic jack under the body or ground effects kits.

These plastic ramps are the only solution for cars with expensive ground effects for getting a jack under the vehicle to lift it for an oil change or other undercarriage service. Whether you are working on you car in the garage or if you are a full blown auto service center, you will find these low cost plastic car ramps offer many uses for the automobile enthusiast or service center.

Made from recycled Takata race belts

i use the cheapo rhino ramps + extensions i made. i just screw them onto the rhino when i need the extra angle.

Race ramps are too damned expensive. $475 for the extended 2 piece and the lowering extensions... Eff that.

my cars are on flatstoppers right now from raceramps and they are of high quality.

the thing that ruins it for me on their ramps for lower cars is it's too damn big for storage. i know it breaks up into 2-3 pieces, but too long, too big.

I use rhino ramps, two at the front, but i can't get up them without the lip hitting, so i put a 2x4 in front of them and then my lip clears by like 1/8" or maybe just touches it

My $45 rhinoramps worked like a charm! I had to use some wood to help out - used a 2 ft 2x10 piece on each side along with a carriage bolt that just dropped through a hole I drilled and into the ramps already existing hold.

My car is lowered on swifts and I didn't scrape at all. Well worth the money. Plus these ramps stack and can be stowed easily.

Was able to install my front sway bar and oil cooler without hassle.
