For those of you who are slammed and cannot fit factory jacks or even low profile jack lifts under your car, how exactly did you guys make your ramps out of wood? is it like a stair step that gradually gets higher? I cant even go up a regular ramp because the front of my bumper hangs too low and will hit it before even going up. Can someone please post pictures of their home made ramp for extremely lowered cars?

 

I used plywood, started at i think 30", then cut each piece like 3-4" shorter as i went!!

I used a 2x10 from home depot and cut it like Shane described, but I 45ed everything so it would roll up it nice.

 

nice, thanks for these pictures. I will have to go to home depot this weekend to make one, and hopefully be able to store it in my car incase i ever get a flat tire. hope it wll fit...

hey waijai, where did you get that ramp and how much did it cost? hopefully the incline on that isnt as steep so my front bumper should clear and be able to ride right up. let me know how low your car is. i might go with that right instead. But what do you guys do for the rear wheel clearance?

 

Maybe this will help you

or if you have too much time and too much spare wood in your garage you can do this:

Cool thread.

 

+1, you can probably find some 2 x 10s in their cull wood bin in the lumber area.

Also, sometimes wood blocks and ramps will slide if you have a smooth concrete floor. You can spray some non-slip / rubberized coating on the bottom, or use those non-slip pads people often put in kitchen cabinets.

 

So with a car being as low as shanes or such, where to you guys go to get alignments. Some alignment shops don't have the ramps for low clearance cars.

 

+1 i would also like to know this as well, for those with super low cars and body kits

 

I did what Shane did, had a similar idea but saw his and realized his was better. I used 1/2" plywood and used 5 layers, but I still needed more. Now I'm not so low anymore so I'm good. It kinda sucked because when I went to the dealership, they couldn't check out one of the problems because they couldn't get it on the lift

 

can you or shane or anyone else who has built one from scratch take a picture so i can get an idea of what it looks like?

 

Sure, I'll take one tomorrow cos I'll get home late. It looks ghetto, but it does the job

 

that's fine as long as it works. appreciate it!

 

air suspension = zero worries for jacking up the car
