I've got some. They work pretty well and are useful. They aren't as cool as race ramps, but for the price point, they are a good product and you will get your use from them.

Haven't used them, but used these for years ... what I liked about them was there is another part that attaches to and extends the bottom of each ramp, making them great for use with low profile vehicles, such as my Vette. Very sturdy, easy to use/store and I gave them away after several years of use (my ability to work on vehicles has been limited these days due to surgeries). You can get them at Harbor Freight ...

I have Rhino ramps from before I bought the Camaro. On smooth surfaces like the concrete floor of a garage, your Camaro's air dam will push these forward and you will never get up the ramp. On rough asphalt, they may or may no work for you.

I have Race Ramps. Expensive, but exactly what you need for any car with a low air dam. Also they are wider, so less anxiety.

I used Rhino ramps for header install and catback install in a garage. Literally 0 problems with slipping or sliding

I use them. At stock ride height the car gets up no problem and they hold very securely.

What style race ramps do you have? Can you change the oil with them?

^^^This... Those can work for some cars, but for my car Race Ramps is what I needed.

Have the 12,000 lb Rhino Ramps, used it for my Hurst short throw install. Had to eventually jack the car up off the ramps but the ramps worked really well.

A little low but they're good for our cars, and you can easily get under the engine bay to do what you need to do. Also, no slipping problems and I did my work on a concrete floor.

Wonder if they'd be good for cleaning my undercarriage

supergt99 · 01-23-2016, 05:22 PM

Been using them for years they work. Easy to use

I have rhino ramps they work great for my accord and tahoe but just barely work for my camaro.

With the camaro I have to make sure there is no dust on the rubber pad and drive the camaro up a little faster than I like to keep it from sliding. Then on a regular creeper it's just enough height for a fluids change. But it was pretty tight. I did my Hurst shifter on them but ended up raising it a little and ditching the creeper. I believe race ramps are about 3" higher at 10" but cost a good amount more.

Made my own version from one I saw on the net - it was a quick project. Had most of the materials on hand.
Extra optional level(s) can be added if i need more height. 2x10" is perfect for SS Tires.
