anthoney it looks like u used ur small jack to raise the side then fit the low profile jack underneath to reach the center jack point if i am not mistaken? is ur car lowered?

anyone using race ramps?
interested in the RLL-87-2 from reverse logic

however only raises to 10 inches. do u think this is enough height to get in for oil changes, change out the sway bars, etc? access to the catalitic converter? how about reversing it onto the ramp so i can install my own catback?

also i guess i could use it to raise the car up a bit to reach front jack point, then jack it and place jack stands.

so another question lol (hey just trying to save money on installations here and have some fun, but SAFETY IS

Not my car, but that looks like what he did.
Ramps are perfect for oil changes and I will be using ramps for CBE install.
For rear diff and tranny oil changes, I would recommend a lift or 4 jack stands.
Safety is super important to me as well - just be sure to have your car on a completely level ground and use wheel chocks.
