If you're looking to get rid of any of them, I might be able to use a couple for the ramps I want to build for the Z

I just need it a few inches off the ground to clear my jack when I want to use the front center jack point.

i did something similar. $20 at home depot and I have ramps for my Z, though I will need to add another step to them I think.

btw, how high do you guys need the car off the ground to reach the front jack point? cause the flatstoppers i have are pretty low profile and could possibly do double duty for those that need a short ramp?

the car sits like 1.5"-2" off the ground while on flat stoppers.

kenchan · 04-03-2013, 01:05 PM

this one for haboob- especially post#5.

I have been thinking about this for a while, just haven't actually done it. I contemplated full size wooden ramps, but have since decided I just need some small ones to get the front end high enough to clear my jack

They're like really low height ramps that you drive up on, right? I think I need closer to 3-4" but I will check tonight. I don't really have need for them since I don't store the car, but if the price is right...

yah, they are low ramps with a rounded cup area to hold the tires while in storage.

price is probably not right....

they cost north of $200 for 4pcs.
