Ramps for low cars

[M0nk3y]

Pretty simple question, what's a ramp that's nice to get under the front end of the car.

I know people will say "rhino ramps" but will those actually raise the front end enough to get under and work?

I gotta swap out a sway bar, which is why I'm concerned with working space.

And of course, I need it to clear my front end

Rhinos are ok for changing oil and stuff that doesn't require a lot of clearance.

I'm thinking jack stands would be the better option for a sway bar.

The rhinos really don't give you that much room.

I'd use jack stands for your sway bar. But I can drive my zhp up on my rhino ramps no problem

I have Rhino Ramps. I have never used them.

I think this the safest way to work under the car.

Kind of funny, because I rarely use them either.

The one thing they are good for- some quick height when you're working in the engine compartment and want to save your back a little.

When I did the vanos in the 325 I put her on the ramps first. HUGE difference in lower back fatigue.

That's a really good idea...would never have thought to do that!

Agree. Jack with pinned stands are money though.

Ya the Rhino ramps do save the back for sure!

If you can't drive it up onto the ramps just drive up on a 12x12 paver first. It gives you the additional clearance so the front bumper doesn't hit the ramp.

These look awesome, and you can take the long ramp part off while its up for better access.

I do have pinned jack stands already. Looks like I'll just go that route, might be the easiest.

I usually use Rhino Ramps. Since I installed my splitters though, I needed to make a gradual slope for them.

For sway bar though, I would do jack stands, much more room to work with

Try these...they adverstised in the Roundel....thinking of ordering a set. They are also a 2 pc. ramps. With my present set up of my suspension, they would scrape the Rhino ramps.
