Wheel ramps
 

Somebody recently posted a thread about getting a jack under the front of the car. Somebody replied with a link showing ramps to drive up on. I've looked all over and can't find that thread. I've been using two by eights but they're heavy and sometimes hard to get up on. I can't get any lumberyard here to cut the sides at an angle. The ramps in the link looked like they were rubber and probably lighter and easier to use.

Don't know what thread you were in but I had a set of Rhinoramps that served me well for many years. Of all the ramps I used over the decades these were my favorite.

This one?

My solution:

I wish that the store bought ramps were higher. Most of them barely lift this car enough to get under it to work. Years ago I had a set of steel ramps that brought the car up 16", those were really useful.

I was looking for a good way to get the car up high and motorcycle lifts kept popping up in my search so I started thinking that since they handle 1k-1500# each why can't we just put one under each wheel and lift the car 16 or 18"? It seems to me that a ~2800# car should be safe on 4 of these. No?

I got those for my lowered Talon. Anything with much more lift just didn't work since I could not get the car up onto them. It was tight but I could get under the car without too much issue. Although now that you mention it I could probably only get halfway under the car nowadays.


The weight may be OK for the bike lifts but I would have some concerns about stability with all wheels up in the air.

Hahaha

I was thinking to put them under the wheels rather than where you'd put jack stands.

Cusco jack assist ramps are awesome. Lower slope to help lowered cars get easily and then separate into two pieces to store in a small box

There were just little risers, maybe 2 inches, to get the car high enough to get jacks under it. I know there was a link to them but can't find it. I use boards like a lot of us, but these looked pretty light and easy to carry and use.


I've thought about Rhino ramps for other applications, but they're not helpful when you need to pull a wheel.

.

Yeah they're handy to have
