Race Ramps 56" 2 piece ramps

Kirkster

Ok. This thread made me buy a pair of race ramps (that and my old ramps would just slide across the garage when I tried to drive up on them). I got the 67 inchers as I am lowered a bit more than an inch and I drag those skegs in front of the tires all over the place.

So the box almost as tall as me came today. I got the single piece ones since I don't care about the space savings, and I do care about the extra hundred bucks... Threw them down in the garage and drove strait up the ramps with no slip and slide on the concrete.

My old ramps were only 6 inches. Those extra 4 inches are a LOT. Now I am not sure about doing an oil change since the motor is leaned back so far and I am not sure about draining all the oil now. I may have to put the old ramps at the back of the car.

I am sure that I will like the extra clearance that those 4 inches give up front when I have to pull the undertray...

I have Rhino ramps and to keep them from slipping on the concrete floor, try this: Go to Walmart and buy the cheapest rubber backed bathmat that you can find that is at least 36" long. Cut it in half lengthwise and put a section of it under each ramp. It will keep the ramp from sliding out from under the tires as you crawl forward on it.

With the money you saved you could by the roll ups. They work great with the race ramps to get both ends of the car up.

Nope, you'll be fine. Remember, the drain plug is at the rear of the oil pan, so having the car tipped up in the front will help to get all of the oil to the back of the pan where the drain is.

But don't check the oil level with the car tipped up on the ramps. Drain the old oil, change the filter, put the drain plug back in, put in a little less than 5 quarts of new oil, back the car off of the ramps onto level ground, let the car sit for a couple of minutes, then check the oil level and top off as necessary.

Yup, no problem with oil changes...besides, OP, how are you going to drive the rear wheels up onto 6" ramps without hitting the side sills of the car (you are lowered).

Um... Same way I got the car on the old ramps that slid across the garage floor...

I misread your previous post. I thought you had a way of DRIVING up two sets of ramps simultaneously, the front pair being 10" and the rear being 6", going forward, with maybe 3 or 4 inches of ground clearance on the sides. How?

If you're going to drive the front end up ramps and then need to jack up the rear to put them on top of a second pair of ramps, I assume the front wheels are chocked up. Heck, if you need to use a floor jack anyway to get all 4 tires off the ground just use 4 jack stands instead.
