Car Ramps

[chasin2morrow]

I need to pick up a set…opinions on best height for easy access oil changes? Or better yet a recommendation on a set you have that work well? Thank you in advance for any input.

Just asked earlier in a different thread, about custom wood ramps, if they would make a write up/provide measurements

I use auto store Rhino Ramps. That said, I use two 1/8" thick pieces of plywood (approx 2ft wide by 3ft long) that I place in front of each ramp. That gives enough clearance to get the car on ramps without scraping anything. I use the same plywood piece to raise the car enough to get my Daytona jack from Harbor Freight under the front of the car too.

The Rhino ramps are about 1/4 the price of race ramps.

As a caveat, my car is stock height. If your car is lowered, the above will not work.

These are the exact race ramps that work great for me OP

I have the 67”, which were great at stock height.
Now I’m lowered ~1-1.25” and have added a Seibon CF front lip.
Had to order the extensions:

(Which were (back)ordered on 7/29 and are expected to ship on 11/8.)

At this point, I’m thinking i should have just gone with QuickJacks.

I am stock height performance. Those race ramps look nice!

My favorite things about the race ramps are:

Clearance of course
Feather weight
Very wide, no more worrying when driving up the ramps about a tire hanging off.

i use rhino ramps with a piece of 2x12x24" for the front end lift. But no matter what I use I will always wiggle jackstands under there some way as a back up.

Just changed my oil for winter storage and I used amazon 3" small ramps. More than enough room to remove cover and change oil/filter and dosnt feel like your going up a mountain.

I know you are asking for recommendations on ramps but you wouldn't regret the investment in a set of quickjacks.
