Rhino Ramps

nis350 · 01-28-2018, 11:30 PM

Does anyone have experience using the Rhino Ramps for a lowered (about 1.25 in) 370z? Wanna get a set for oil change. Just wondering if it would work as the front of the Z is quite low. Thanks.

I have the Race Ramps. If you get any ramp. Get the longest one. Other wise you will be using wood in front of the ramp to get the Z started up.

I also bought the long extensions as that was the easy way to get my ex Vette on the ramp quickly

They still come in handy for the rear of the car sometimes... I bought them before getting the "Z" and also use them for my SUV...

I've been using ramps I purchased from Harbor Freight (39$ I think)...anyhow, they work just fine.

IMO, ramps are worth it (even with extensions), especially when all you need to do is an oil change or something. We have them at home and use them on all the cars for oil/filter changes. Love em.

+1 on the Race Ramps, I have the longer set and they work great, I do scrape slightly on Swifts but thats the price you pay for low, have had them for over 3 years now and have used them on 5 vehicles with no warping or cracking or any deformation

If you drive up on the ramps alone, even at stock height, you will scrape. I usually place wood pieces before the ramps and prevent the scraping. Just jack up the car and put a stand and on with the OC, as this is much easier IMO.
