Race Ramps... a must!

Diboblo · Sep 6, 2019

For those of us who do our own oil changes, and other light maintenance, these ramps are what fit the bill.

I use the 67" two piece, with a 10" rise. This puts the car WAY up in the air! I've done several oil changes, on my HC Charger and my last car, a 2006 SRT8 Charger. More than enough room to crawl around and get the job done.

This is what I use:

My car is stock height. If your car is lowered, you might need another ramp... and they have one to fit just about any stance.

Check out their ramp approach angle calculator:

I do no represent, in any way, nor am I affiliated with Race Ramps. I just like the quality and variety of their product. I was using some crappy Rhino ramps and had to put 2x4's in front of them, to get the car up high enough not to scrape the bumper. Not with the Race Ramps. These things are amazing... and much sturdier than the hollow Rhinos (which are fine for smaller cars).

Hope this helps, if you're looking for, or considering ramps.

I'll try to post up a pic of my car on the ramps, this weekend.

Glad you guys like them cause I ordered a set yesterday. Hope they show up soon, I'm going for first oil/filter change at 8-1k miles.

Oh man... they make oil changes a snap!

Next in the list... 7000EXT QuickJack... but that's for another thread

I use rhino knockoffs with a 2x6...

My next move is definitely a quickjack. I already have all the pinch weld adapters for it...just waiting to see if I should grab a 5k or 7k.

Save your pinchwelds and get the 7000EXT.

It's a bit longer and reaches the factory lift points, on the car (rear bumper pad and the triangle on the forward subframe).

If the make an EXT in the 5k, that will probably be good enough. I have a couple of 50's Cadillacs that would be a challenge, for the 5k, so I'm going with the 7k

Disregard. I see you also have a charger. You sure they reach with the EXT models for us?

With the machined adapters I'm not worried about pinch damage. Once I fix what I screwed up from a floor jack that is

I will measure, tonight.

I did this before, then got sidetracked and never bought the damn lift. LOL.

Quickjack now has these
https://www.quickjack.com/accessories/slx-frame-extension-kit-pair.html
They are extenders for 6 more inches, I use either my quick jack or the race ramps depending on what I’m doing. For a oil change the quick jacks are a pain to set up where the race ramps make life quick and easy.

56 inch two piece work for me. I use them for all my cars. Don’t sink into hot pavement like other ramps.

Blkout · Sep 19, 2019

Use mine for every oil change and any under car maintenance or work. I had to buy the extenders because my splitter would catch on them without the extenders.

I used Rhino ramps for a long time with 3/4" plywood run in for the Challenger. It worked but was scary with the Jeep SRT as it wanted to shove the ramps and the steep incline was not good. I got Race Ramps and although pricey the gradual incline makes them a pleasure to use.

71SixPack · Sep 21, 2019

Yup. First thing I purchased was a pair of 67” race ramps. Work great. I’ll use them until I can afford a four post lift. I’ll probably need them anyway to load the WBRE on my trailer.

I have a set of RR56 2 piece that I had from a previous car and for my mower. The Redeye will clear and goes up nice in the front with these for an 8 inch rise. But the back tires would be a bit wider than the ramps. I usually don't use a creeper. I put down a pice of painters cheap plastic tarp, the dollar stuff! Than just roll around like a caterpillar or slip an slide!

For the same price, go with a Bend-Pak asymmetrical 2 post lift. Thst way, you can do it all.

The cross lift jack that you can get for the 4 post is for the birds.

I've used both 2 and 4 post. I'd go with the 2 post.

Just my .02.

A lift for the same price as ramps? You trust your life to that? I am not to enthused.

No... 4 post vs 2 post lift.

Shopping around, if go with the 2 post

Love my Race Ramps...hesitated at first due to the price, but bit the bullet and am glad I did. No trepidation about doing work under the car with it on the ramps...and that piece of mind is well worth the cost of the ramps.

Diboblo · Sep 24, 2019

Did an oil change, on the Jeep, this weekend.

Not really necessary, but it did make life easier

Careful if going this route. When I put the frame extentions onto my quick jack, it is too high to fit under the car. So I ended up having to drive up onto some 2X4s anyhow.
