Default Car Ramps

Looking for something that won't be an issue with a 1 inch drop, gets the job done and does not cost bank. Was wondering what your using and where you got it from.

Race Ramps are awesome, but they are expensive. Make your own out of 2x12's. Danny will post up here a bit with his, but you can pretty much make them as long and as high as you want them. They'll be heavy, but they will be cheap to build.

Autozone has some plastic ones called rhino ramps. I use them and they work great. lowered cars on sportlines and 18s fit the ramp just fine. shouldnt set you back more than $50.00

Rhino ramps are awesome. Jay Leno's chin just doesn't allow me to get on the from the front now, so I have to figure out some preramps...

Well I'm sure I could but most of the time I want to use them in the front. If I put the back in the air most of the time I need to drop the rear down for something.

I have rhino ramps also...it was a tight squeeze to back up on the on stock height. haven't tried now that I have Ultralites out back but I imag i'll have to use a 2x4 or so...just my opinion since I haven't tested yet.

Makes me wonder now if a low profile jack and stands might be the best long term solution? How long do the hydraulics last in the jacks? How many years should I expect to get out of one?
