Howdy:

I found a link earlier tonight of someone who used a piece of decking material and attached it to the bottom of a Rhino ramp so the air dam wouldn't hit. For the life of me, I can't find it again!

Can someone help me find my way to that link? If the poster of the method with the decking material could respond with the thread, that would be great also.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Regards,

If you guys want ramps and are concerned about height/length issues, you need to check out this website.

I use these ramps at our shop and they're cool because they're EXTREMELY light.... have great angles and once the car is on the rear part of the ramp, you can remove the ramp part and thus have room to work under the car.

HTH's,

Thanks, but I'll stick with the forty-some-odd dollar Rhino ramps. I can buy a lot more Mobil One with the money I'll save!

I have seen guys use a piece of 2x12 in front of their ramps to lift the car a couple of inches before the ramp.

I use a jack and jackstands.

Aha!

You da man! Of all the ways to change the oil I researched yesterday, the Rhino ramps seemed to be the best way and the best buy. And I must say that this is the easiest (and best) way to avoid the car contacting the ramps!

Thanks! I've got it bookmarked now.

Best regards,

No problem, they have been working for me for years. Those ramps work with C4s, C5s and C6s.

That looks cool. I wonder if that would keep them from sliding? I have to put 2x4 between the rinos and the wall to keep them from sliding.

It WONT keep then from sliding. I only use them on the concrete.

I have 2 holes in my garage floor that I put bolts through if I need to use them insdie, but i have a small garage so its just not worth the trouble.

To maintain the lifts:
Place a fold piece of a rubberized grip material that is used under rugs to stop slipping. It is available at all the home "DIY" stores. It may take several folds so you have a strong contact with the lift and ground. The material can be used in your tool box to avoid bangs and digs of the box sheveles and keep itens from rolling. It is less $$$ than buying the stuff sold by/for tool boxes.

I'll try this. I have some of this stuff leftover from a project......

So thoes are the regular Rino Ramps...not the 200 buck version's

I was think of lifting my back end yesterday when i was doing the oil change. I had it up on my ramps and wanted the back end lifted to drain more oil but I chickened out, seem a little sketcky !!

Nice. I like the additional piece. Do you happen to have the dimensions that the 1" and 2" piece are placed at?

The board is 24 inches long, the first short leg is at 7 1/2 inches and the second is at 14 1/2 inches. The length of the two legs depends on the incline of the ramps.
