What ramp do you use?

bigdog1250 · 12-14-2012, 10:19 AM

I'm looking to pick up some ramps and wanted to know what brand people are using and whether or not you scrape on them.

I'm lowered on swift springs so I think I'll probably have to use 2x4s to get onto whatever ramp I end up with.

Currently looking at Hopkins rhinoramps

I have Race Ramps with the extension. Also lowered on swifts. Works like a charm, but more pricey than Rhino ramps.

Race Ramps. 67" with XT-2 extenders. My 370Z was lowered on Tein MonoFlex. They now have 2 piece 2-angle ramps that do the same thing and are less expensive than buying the extenders separately. Fred at Reverse Logic will set you up.

Homemade ramps out of 2x12s. Costs me less than $75 and the made to specs I needed

I have a set of 2"x12" cut roughly 18" long. Beveled the edges. If you stack/stagger 2"x12" boards and attach them to one another AND cut one end to overlap a basic set of plastic ramps, you can make that work too. I use this set up for my vehicles at home.

Thanks for the input guys. The rhinoramps are super attractive because they're only $45!

Are you lowered, and do you scrape at all?

djtodd · 12-14-2012, 02:50 PM

I couldnt use em. Mine are basically as long as the car to get the height I wanted and the low angle needed to avoid scraping.

Curious if anyone with a Nismo uses these also... Nose is long on them...

Race Ramps. The cheapies are just cheap IMO.

No I'm not lowered. I've only driven up on them a handful of times. You need the wood plank assist even with stock height.
I mostly use them for a 4 wheel lift for engine oil changes, diff oil changes, transmission oil changes.
I jack up from the front jack point, put the ramps under each front tire, then go side to side for the rear wheels. I can't use the rear center jack point because of the FI exhaust mufflers.
STRONG AS STEEL lol

Someone had posted these somewhere on this forum

This is the one I made withs scraps laying around the house. Angle was set so it would just touch the deflectors in front of the wheels.
