Look at Raceramps. I use the 52" version with extenders, no issues with rubbing.

Those are great, but pricey.

I made extensions out of wood and they work just fine. Cost was probably less than $15.

I have these... love them. But they are pricey.

Just bought a set of rhino ramps. Not bad but needed a 2" x 12"in front to give a little lift before actually going up ramp. Front would have rubbed, but for price it was worth it.

Got some 72" Raceramps coming in. I was right under the 7.25" cutoff for front clearance, so had to go longer. I'll let you know how they work out =D

Yeah I just couldn't see spending a lot on something I will only use from time to time. If I were a racer or was constantly under the car then I would spend some bucks.

BTW selling 2 x 12 cut to 12" lengths. $10 each or buy the pair for $20 sale going on all year long. I can even use my wood burner and burn a Z in it if you want. HAHA JK

I stacked two boards offset a little bit with the ends cut at 45 degree angles. A long bolt through one end so you can stick it in the hole at the bottom of the ramp and it doesn't move. Total cost has to be less than $20 and about an hour's worth of work.
