Ok, so I stopped lagging it...here's my ghetto ramps. I needed on more piece, maybe two so that I didn't have to jack the car up, but that's when my car was super slammed where my lowest point on the vehicle was about 2" above the ground.

Yeah, it was just scrap wood I had laying around. Plywood, drywall screws, and a drill is all that is needed.

Old thread revival I know, but I finally decided to make my own ramps and they look something like the pic below. I wanted a nice thick ramp so I made them 12" wide and the total height it raises the car is 9". This is a perfect height for changing my oil without using a jack. The incline is one smooth piece of wood with about 8 degrees rise and it is perfect to clear my lowered car even with the Kuruma Z bumper without scraping.


In this particular pic I used the ramps to change the oil, then I jacked up the car and installed the new bumper.


This is one of the only pics I have so far. I'm in the process of redesigning and improving a few more sets complete with paint, rubber non-slip bottom, and handles for friends near by. If anyone is good at working with wood and is interested in making a set for themselves I can offer some pointers.
