Nice Ramps for oil changes and etc.
I found this site and it has what appears to be some great ramps and other things that some of you do it yourself-ers may like. The extenders might be a good idea, gives you a gradual incline, and once the car's in position, you can remove them to gain side entrance to the underside of the car, and they say they're especially for the low to the ground cars like our Z's are.

nice. i use raceramps brand (flatstoppers) and they are of high quality. if my homemade extensions ever broke for my rhino's, i would get those extended ramps from raceramps.
make sure you measure the distance between the take off point and the stop. it's quite a bit of distance so unless it's parallel your car will fall off as you go on the ramps. |

Or better yet, what makes any ramps better than others? What do we need out of ramps? Long enough to not scrape, heavy duty enough to handle the load (which should be any ramps) ... and what else? I'd buy wider ones to help assure the car doesn't fall off, and that's all I can think of.

This is what I'll have. My wife keeps wondering why I always say "the garage roof isn't high enough" when we drive around shopping for dream homes.

I bought the Rhino 12,000 ramps. They're wider than the 8,000's if you're truly worried about running off the side. 8000's are for 7.5" tires and 12,000 are for 9.5". Take 30 seconds to line them up and there is no issue.
As for clearance with my sport package, I drop a 2x4 in front of the ramps and take off the little wind deflectors in front of the tires. Three screws each, only takes a minute. |

I watched my buddy use the blitz/rhino ramps to change his oil. Let me see if I can describe this so it makes sense:
He hit the stop bump at the end of the ramps, and the little rubber square (glued to the bottom) popped off, causing the ramp to lurch forward dropping his car (vette) to the ground. |
