Question about Rhino Ramps

I don't think it will clear, even without a drop. Someone did I write up somewhere here.

I was afraid that might be the case. I saw some at PepBoys yeaterday and I think it might be possible to cut them down an inch or so and then they might actually work. Perhaps someone has some experience with some of these more affordable ramps.

I had the smaller version Rhino Ramps and I still needed 2x4's on the ends to get up the ramp at stock height.

Now that I'm dropped, they are useless for the Z.

Which Rhino ramps did you get and did you get enough lift to be useful?

Yea, with a drop things get very tight.

I have the 8k ones. If you have a stock sport pckg chin spoiler, it will also hit at stock height.

I have the 8000 rhino ramps. Last weekend i drove my DD up the ramps to do an oil change, the right ramp slipped and went under the car and bent the right front panel. I went to the body shop today and they quoted me $1200 to get it fixed.

I'm throwing the Rhino ramps away and going to order the 2-piece 56-inch Race Ramp on amazon for $240.

I cant image what it would be like if that Rhino ramp went under my Z.

How the hell did that happen? Drive up too fast and sent over the other end?

sounds like user error to me. Never happened to me over 10yrs using mine.

Something similar occured to my previous car the Mazdaspeed 3. My excuse was forward wheel drive fail. Basically I applied slightly too much gas and the driver side ramps slide and went under the floor pan.

Placed the ramps by the curb side let some other person take them LOL. Never again.
