Anyone use these? I just bought a set for $32. They make getting under the car easy as hell for maintenance and they're safer than jacking. Just set them down, ride up, and chock the other 2 wheels.

makes oil changes easyier. I like the design. It's a low enough grade of incline that only the black plastic damn scrapes a bit when driving up them.

A more accurate observation has never been typed. These should be the starting points before any serious performance modification. What's the point of making a serious performer if you can't control it's power?
I use them for changing my oil and they work great and are easy to use.
I used to use them, great tool to have at your disposal, now I need to make some homemade ones, the car sits too low now.
They worked great for the Cav I had above, but for my '02 Z24 sedan, the OEM body kit is too low. Short of the obvious (jack stands, building custom ramps), does anyone know of any ramps that are made for low ground clearance?
Try a thick pressure treated wooden board, cut to width of the ramp, as long as the ramp's incline. Place one end about 1/2 way up the ramp. It's how I get my 'Fire up my ramps so's not to scrape the fascia.
That sounds like a good idea, but how do you keep the board from moving? Do you drill or attach it to the ramp in some way?
i just back onto a couple of 4x6's, but i'm just a redneck, and a cheap one at that
The weight of the car is enough to keep them from sliding. Jus' be very gentle on the gas getting on like you are anyway so's not to launch off the back end!
Any questions, get a buddy to spot you on/off.
i guess it works good if your car isnt low. o well i made my own ramps for 5 bucks that seem to work good.
yeah iv have them for a while...for people who dont trust plastic ramps they make an even stronger ramp then this. But the normal rhino ramps will support a fullsize pickup no problem

I know for a fact they support Town and Countrys because I do my Moms oil changes all the time.

i have a set and i use them for my 03 cavalier ls sport, it is lowered with goldline springs and the car drives up them, no other ramp fits under my front clip except these but yet you still have room to work under the car
