RAMPS INFO FOR OIL CHANGE

[mikeman]

I will never work under a car without jack stands unless it's on ramps. To work under a car only supported by a pump jack is just pure insanity.

After being lowered? Mine's stock, and the Rhino Ramps work just fine.

Thanks for the compliments!! I AM spoiled in having BOTH...however, we call it the SANCTUARY, as none of us really like the yuppie phrase "man cave"......

my Miata is on coilovers so that is a mission, my Camaro is stock height but the pitch angle of the rhino ramps don't allow my front bumper with the 1le lip to drive straight up without going through a mission. Even with some wood down.

I could use the Rhino Ramps when I was at stock height but it still hit my front splitter a little bit. There was like 1/2-3/4 inch of flex. But since then I have lowered it almost 2 inches so there is no way now unless I use wood.

Know what you’re saying. Same thing with the GFX on mine going up the Rhinos. Just a tad of scuff, nothing terrible. Nonetheless, Race Ramps are on the way so that problem will be gone and I’ll just feel safer to boot. Not a spokesperson for RR, just what I think will work for me.

BAH2SS nice ramps,the rubber on the bottom is a great idea, I have a set I built for my motorhome to level it out in my driveway, I use them on the Camaro for the oil changes

Anyone got experience with these? Seems like a quick way to get a car up on jackstands and easy/small to store. A bit pricey though

I have never seen those but they do look pretty cool. My main concern would be if you don't have a jack under it you are only relying on those pins to carry the weight. If the jack is always supposed to be underneath then having more than one stand is useless unless you have multiple floor jacks. Maybe I am missing something here.

Edit: I watched the video on it and it seems like a decent product. Not sure I am convinced though. It seems like the feet could have been wider since you are not using the typical 4 point jack stand type feet. I'm sure it has its uses though.

You won’t be sorry! I have them and love’em!

I noticed a crack in the middle after first use. Fixed that by adding 3/4" thick wood plate on each side and sandwiched the haul thing together with wood glue and some nuts and bolts. This thing is staying for life time now lol

Tried the Race Ramps out today just to get a feel for them. Simply put....nice! Way easier to get up on vs. the Rhinos. No scuffing whatsoever on the GFX and no slipping when going up or coming down from the ramps. Big thumbs up so far. I forgot to remove the extensions so you can see how much room there is underneath the car but, trust me, there’s plenty!

Sorry to change the subject, but are your rims painted, powdered, or dipped?

It would be a guess only on my part, as they aren’t something I purchased individually or had redone since acquiring the car. My best guess would be that they appear painted.
