Which ramps are you guys using to change oil or any other type of work.

Red2014SS · 09-02-2015, 04:57 PM

I've got a set of Rhino ramps. They are made of some sort of heavy duty plastic. They are extra wide, and long, so they work well. I just used them today to install a new axle back exhaust.

Race ramps.

Badfinger · 09-02-2015, 06:11 PM

Do you guys use them on a smooth concrete floor and if so do you have any issues with the ramps pushing or slipping away as you try to drive onto them?

patrickt24 · 09-02-2015, 06:37 PM

I think I will go with the race ramps Race Ramps part # RR-56.

Race ramps for the win. You can get them in various lengths and in two-piece versions.

The two-piece are nice because you can drive up on them then remove the sloped portion giving you much more room to access the bottom of the car.

No scraping with these ramps? Do they lift the car off the ground enough to get under farily comfortably?

crabapple · 09-02-2015, 08:10 PM

Race Ramps and I have plenty of room under my car.

SCHUSS · 09-02-2015, 08:15 PM

Race Ramps. Plenty of room.

Rhino ramps are cheaper. If you need more clearance to roll onto them, just lay down a 12" long piece of 2"x10" wood in front of the ramps. I use a couple of pieces of tool box drawer liner under the tall end of the ramps to make sure they don't slip on the concrete floor. All available at most auto parts or hardware stores.

Rhino ramps work very well with some 2x4s in front

jksynergy · 09-03-2015, 12:15 PM

Agree on race ramps. lowered and with the add'l splitter on the car I don't scrape and getting into the trailer with their trailer ramps is a piece of cake and easy.
