What ramp do you use?
 

I'm looking to pick up some ramps and wanted to know what brand people are using and whether or not you scrape on them.

I'm lowered on swift springs so I think I'll probably have to use 2x4s to get onto whatever ramp I end up with.

Currently looking at Hopkins rhinoramps

I have Race Ramps with the extension. Also lowered on swifts. Works like a charm, but more pricey than Rhino ramps.

Race Ramps. 67" with XT-2 extenders. My 370Z was lowered on Tein MonoFlex. They now have 2 piece 2-angle ramps that do the same thing and are less expensive than buying the extenders separately. Fred at Reverse Logic will set you up.

Homemade ramps out of 2x12s. Costs me less than $75 and the made to specs I needed :)

I have a set of 2"x12" cut roughly 18" long. Beveled the edges. If you stack/stagger 2"x12" boards and attach them to one another AND cut one end to overlap a basic set of plastic ramps, you can make that work too. I use this set up for my vehicles at home.

Thanks for the input guys. The rhinoramps are super attractive because they're only $45!

I got 4 of those from Walmart, work great

Are you lowered, and do you scrape at all?

I couldnt use em. Mine are basically as long as the car to get the height I wanted and the low angle needed to avoid scraping.

Curious if anyone with a Nismo uses these also... Nose is long on them...

Race Ramps. The cheapies are just cheap IMO.

:rolleyes:

No I'm not lowered. I've only driven up on them a handful of times. You need the wood plank assist even with stock height.
I mostly use them for a 4 wheel lift for engine oil changes, diff oil changes, transmission oil changes.
I jack up from the front jack point, put the ramps under each front tire, then go side to side for the rear wheels. I can't use the rear center jack point because of the FI exhaust mufflers.
STRONG AS STEEL lol

Someone had posted these somewhere on this forum

This is the one I made withs scraps laying around the house. Angle was set so it would just touch the deflectors in front of the wheels.

nice DIY! I'm just too lazy for this and they're not stackable!
Either way, looks great.

I can vouch for those particular plastic ramps. I have a set that I use for my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel. I use them to tilt trailers to make hauling cars easier. I like how you can stack them together like SOLO cups, taking up less room in the trailer or garage.

I went ahead an purchased a set of the rhinoramps as everyone seems to love them. I know I'll have to use a 2x4 to set-up onto the ramp, for for $40 you can't beat them.

Time to finish my sway bar install, oil cooler install, and oil change :)

I have these:

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.

After seeing the photo that anthonyy posted I'm tempted to buy another set of Rhino ramps and use them the same way when I do the transmission and differential oil changes. I think if I drove the front wheels up first and then used a floor jack under the differential I could jack up the car, slide the rear ramps under the tires and lower the floor jack. They are about the same cost as jack stands and the adapters for the pinch welds and seem like there is less chance of underbody damage, plus they would keep the car level during the oil change process. Anyone see a flaw in this method ?

Why not just drive up all 4 at once? With the help of someone to make sure they don't slide out.

Please video that!

:stirthepot:

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. :icon17:

I have driven up on 4 ramps at the same time with trucks and minivans. But a Z... :ugh2:

A truck/minivan (if it falls off) will not whack the ramp with the fasica or rocker panel. A Z is another story.

yeah that would be a mess lol

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'm nervous enough driving up just the front ramps ! No way am I going to try and drive up all 4. I was planning on using the rear 2 as jackstand replacements. But I'm sure it would make a good Youtube video if I failed.

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

What brand are those black plastic ramps?

RhinoRamps - $45 on Amazon

Rhino Ramps from Walmart

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.

Just to confirm...these?
