I'm lowered. I can't drive up on ramps. Infact, I can't even use a regular jack. I need a super low pro jack to get under my car. So I'm stuck with the jack and jackstands method. #lowlifeproblems

You get what you pay for. I just did some research on this and I'm going with the 56-inch Race Ramps. Some members have made there own ramps:

I'm lowered and I use Rhino Ramps I bought at Autozone. I use some wood in front of the ramp to allow the car to drive on so the front end clears the ramp. I do that then use a standard jack to lift the front end from there (if doing something more than oil change). My standard jack fits under the rear end without assistance.

^that's what I did. Except I used 12x lumber, so it was more like $70, and they weigh a butt-ton

Rhino's here.....Mine isn't lowered but the front just barely makes it, scrapes a bit on the down stroke! Ramps are damn good for the cost and stack well to store away.

I have Rhinos also, they do slide a little bit, but all plastic/composite ramps do that.
They were cheap at advance for the 12-Ton (I think) |
