Hej all, I’m thinking of getting a set of these for oil changes, clutch adjustments, speedo cable repairs, type of jobs… maybe even a valve adjustment one day if I feel intrepid!!
Does anyone here use them? They seem to be the best low-profile ramps I could find — pricey, but the ~6.8° angle really appeals to me, especially since my car is already a bit lowered. Thanks in advance for any feedback / suggestions… https://www.raceramps.com/ramps/race/p/rr-72-2/ |

I’ve used them for years to drive cars up onto my trailer. Still look like new. Incredibly strong. Very light. Not cheap but worth the money.

I have two sets of these and one thing I struggle with is storage; where do you put them when not in use? I stack them and put them off to the side. The only other thought is that I wish they were taller. I typically find myself just going straight to the jack/jackstands.

I’ve heard they can “ slide out “ from under the tires while driving up them .
Although I have no experience but I always wanted a set . |

I’ve only used them for ramps onto a trailer.

I have been using them for over 10 years and love them. Not once they have slid from under the tires and my garage floor is epoxy coated.
They are a pain to store though. |

Not Race Ramps but cheap ones from local auto parts store. They work well and I hang them from a nail in a rafter next to a wall in my garage.

In this case I didn't drive the car on but jacked the car up and placed ramp under. Alan Sobin in picture
