according to this thread:
RACE RAMP - Important - Need Input you would need both the ramps as well as extenders. or you can wait til the new version of raceramps are created as the thread states |

Please do. I'd rather build one and use regular ramps then shell out 150+ for "race ramps." I'll probably shell out more money for aluminum undercover body with the oil access door.

I think AK has a vid on Youtube with home made wooden extenders for his Rhino Ramps.

sorry for the mess...was in a rush to clean up the garage and drive they are 2x12's though, and about 6 feet long. 2x12's vs 2x10's were only something like 2-3 dollars more, and with the wider wheels i figured what the hey.. |

I copied Will's design here:
Those are 2x10's. Total cost for screws + wood was a little over $20.

Oh, I did not know that they were actual ramps. I was thinking of helper steps in order to get on the actual ramps without scraping the bottom. The idea I was thinking of was from this thread from G35 Driver:

Wooden ramps versus Race Ramps
Wooden ramps may be cost effective if 3-inches high is all you need. But if you want a 10" high ramp that you can safely work under with a 2-piece design that is easy to transport and store, you won't find a better alternative than Race Ramps.
If you build a 10" high ramp out of 2 x 10s you are likely to break your back trying to lift it and there is no way you are going to transport it in your car. I am sure a lot of people who get Race Ramps have buyer's remorse, especially when their spouse finds out how much they cost. But after you have used them once a big smile will spread across your face and you will be the envy of your car club buddies. |
