I am considering buying a set of these ramps. They are 66" long, 14" wide and 10" high. They are made of aluminum and have a capacity of 3000 lbs (remember only the front of your car will be on them). They are normally $310 shipped. If anyone else is interested I will see if they will do a group buy price.

[right][snapback]235164[/snapback][/right] Well I know at my local Schucks they had a pair that supports 12,000 lbs and had a fairly shallow angle for $40. They were something like this. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

They look like they are about 24" long. I have a pair like that and they don't cut it for the Celi. $40 does sound good though....
Looks like Autozone carries the same thing. I am going to go take a look. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

I saw the ones that Coomer posted in the store yesterday and they are just like my other ones. They are about 30" long and only about 7" high. I don't like using a jack to change the oil so I am looking for some better ones. If anyone knows of some longer ones that are cheaper, I would be game. If not, I am going to pick up a set of these others. Yea, they are somewhat expensive - but you will have them forever.

just a tip for you guys that have a hard time getting a jack under the car with it lowered...hit your local lowes or home depot or whatever, get a couple "patio blocks"..theyre like 18x12x2..set them up in front of the wheels, drive up on em, and bango..
couple more inches of clearance for your jack..

im kind of sick of having a lowered car. it was ok before, but now with the extra 3sgte weight, it sits to low for my taste. getting a jack under it is a pain too.

[right][snapback]235571[/snapback][/right] yeah .. I have to use the stock car jack, raise it like 3 inches then slide mine under, it sucks.. makes it take to long for an oil change. |
