Anyone with a coupe knows the difficulty of getting it up on jackstands, the front sits very low even at stock height and a standard service jack won't fit under the car. Once the front of the car is lifted onto stands then the rear sits too low to get a service jack under the differential...

I had been using some makeshift "ramps" I made from 2x10 lumber for many years, finally got tired of hauling those heavy things out every time I needed to get the car up in the air with a service jack.

Side jacking the car is a mess and I definitely wouldn't recommend it for anything other than changing a flat tire, definitely not for getting the car onto jackstands.

These ultra low profile ramps are very lightweight, sturdy, inexpensive, have a very narrow approach angle, and they fit under the car without hitting anything, I'm on 350Z revised springs so my drop is only 1/2" but I still have almost 1" of clearance remaining for the rear ramps.

Once the car is up on 4 of these ramps you can easily get a full size service jack under the front lift point and when the front is on 6 ton jackstands (they set higher than the usual 3 ton jackstands) you STILL have enough room for a full sized service jack under the rear differential.

Pluss the roll-stops are pretty aggressive so you won't accidentally drive forward off the ramps once you're on top of them. Overall I've been very pleased with these low profile ramps.

 

Thanks for sharing, Cleric. I just grabbed myself a pair. I’m sure we’ve all used some unique methods of trying to get our cars jacked up.

 

Good tip, just ordered a pair.

 

I bought these two years ago after driving up on 2x4's for years. A must-buy for G's.
