Just a quick FYI...

You could of just used your ramps you already had and layed the 2nd board down and you could of rolled right up on the ramp. Been using that method for years.

If you put a couple casters on the end away from the handle, it makes them much easier to move around. usually I put them on the tall end, so they don't get ran over.

I ordered my H & R springs about 2 weeks ago. Took about a week to get em. I ordered from this place:

http://www.advancespeedshop.com/hr-s...1-p-11690.html

I called about 5 or 6 different places and no one had them instock except them.


Great idea on the ramps man. Ive been wondering about my next oil change since my spring install.

is your car getting up high enough for you to work on it comfortably?

thats what i have been doing with my ramps since my car is lowered, i just put a 2x4 in front of the ramps to drive up to clear my front lip.. but i like the way this looks.. may look into making a set maybe a step higher also to get a little more room under there. plus it gives me an excuse to use all my new makita 18v lithium tools out

you should put pressure loaded casters so that when ur ramps are not in use, you can dolly them away to storage...and when it is in use, the ramps will still be flat on the floor as if them casters never existed

just a thought...

Definately. No problem performing an oil change or dropping the undertray.

You can also just put a 2x4 in front of the rhino ramp

Tried that at first, using a bunch of 1" boards and 2x4 combinations but there wasn't enough clearance for the air dam. Plus the boards would move around on me when coming back down off the Rhino ramps.

These new ramps are much safer.
