Low Profile Car Ramp Thread

Problem: My EVO is lowered... a lot. Before, when it was stock height, my jack would easily fit under the car, but now there is no way to get anything under there. In the past I have used blocks of wood and the like under my tires to help raise the car up a bit. I want a more permanent solution.

Solution: I have found these ramps http://www.asapcustoms.com/catalog/p...oducts_id=7472 which I will get unless you guys can help me out with some better options. I am sure that a lot of other people have this same problem and maybe this thread will help them out as well.

Thanks.

Those are cool, but I would say to buy them from EvoMoto or RallySportDirect because they both support EvolutionM.net and you can always ask them to price-match.

Why not just buy a set of Rhino Ramps from wal-mart for $25 and a couple 2x4's from home depot? Good to go.

You can always get a low profile jack.

Yea i went to autozone to get some brake cleaner and found the rhino ramps for 25 bucks. They work perfect and get my car off the ground enough for me to get under it with a creeper.

see if there is a Harbor Freight near you. They sell an aluminum lightweight jack that is only a few inches when in the down position. This should work for you.
