Nice Ramps for oil changes and etc.

shadow2k · 02-21-2010, 11:23 AM

I bought the Rhino 12,000 ramps. They're wider than the 8,000's if you're truly worried about running off the side. 8000's are for 7.5" tires and 12,000 are for 9.5". Take 30 seconds to line them up and there is no issue.

As for clearance with my sport package, I drop a 2x4 in front of the ramps and take off the little wind deflectors in front of the tires. Three screws each, only takes a minute.

I watched my buddy use the blitz/rhino ramps to change his oil. Let me see if I can describe this so it makes sense:
He hit the stop bump at the end of the ramps, and the little rubber square (glued to the bottom) popped off, causing the ramp to lurch forward dropping his car (vette) to the ground.

I have the rhino ramps, we just avoid hitting the front bump.

We should call that "Plan A."

it'd be funny if the lip cleared by 3/8" in the vid but as soon as the driver got in his car the lip smashed due to the gross weight.

nice vid. i'd definitely consider getting one in the future if my homemade extensions dont work out.

I wouldnt dare spend that much money on something I can make with 2x4's lol.

would these work on the nismo? im looking for ramps for my nismo, and the nismo has a reallly long low nose which is hard to find a ramp for that wont scratch the bumper.

I would consider these to be safe: 67” Race Ramps XT

Here is how to do the calculations for the Race Ramps needed: Ramp Test

These are heirloom products to be passed-on; their distinct advantage is their featherweight.
