As the title says I'm looking for a good yet fairly inexpensive set of ramps so I can get under my car since I change my own oil and I'm wanting to take out the CDV.

And don't forget that you can get Rhino Ramps at Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUT F8%26ref_%3Dpd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_sq_top%26keywords%3Drh ino%2520ramps%26index%3Dblended&tag=zhpcom-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957), which is an advertiser on our site. Woot woot.

I am no help. Bought mine so long ago I can't remember where I got them.
Just for the lulz:
I had to build custom mini ramps to give my front bumper enough clearance to go on the ramps I have.

Yeah, I would say race ramps or jack stands, most normal ramps are too steep for the front bumper. Last time I put the car in the air I backed onto the ramps in the fear and lifted the front to match and used jack stands for the front.

Ok well I found some race ramps on amazon and they are advertised for low profile sports cars and are longer. I'm going to do some more research...

I have Rhino ramps. Love them but they do rub a little when you're first transitioning onto them.
Since the bumper will be sporting a new paint job as of Saturday, I'm gonna have to come up with a way to get that extra inch of clearance...

Pull up onto two stubby 2x4's (2"x4"x18") prior to the ramps. This will give the necessary clearance.

That'll work. Thank you my friend.

I wonder how many federal agents got an automated email from some secret government taskforce supercomputer monitoring everything in cyberspace, when the sentence "Gotta support the mafia" was released into the internet :rofl
Love it.
