If I had a choice of ramps, commercial ramps , I would go with metal ramps, instead of the plastic ones. I tried the rhino ramps about 10 yrs ago and never trusted them. The plastic ramps just tended to slide around to much and the plastic's tends to degrade with age to and get brittle , specially if left out in the sun.

Metal ramps last almost forever unless they rust out.

When I used ramps on the corvettes, I never drove up on them, I would first jack up the car and then place the metal ramp under the wheels.

Driving up on high ramps you really need 2 adult men or young guys that, are not afraid to adjust and make sure they don't move as you are driving up on them.

So when doing working on your own or with wife or girl friend its best to do it the slow and safe way.
