I just picked up some plastic Rhino Ramps to install my sway bars, but I couldn't get the front end of my G up the ramp. It's too low, and just pushes the ramp away. I tried placing some 2x4's before the ramp, but that didn't help. I wound up using my floor jack & stands, which is another pain since I have to drive my car onto the 2x4's for jack clearance.

I kinda want to be able to use the ramps for oil changes and such. I'm sure some of you have faced the same problem. I'm just wondering what solutions you've come up w/ to resolve the issue. Do they sell extensions for the plastic Rhino Ramps?

Many thanks,

I've heard a G with stock suspension has problems with the Rhino ramps. You might want to try the metal ones with the extensions.

i got yellow metal ones at wal mart & ordered the extension kit for them. No rubbing.

Even the ramps with extension from Griot's garage, I still can't get my G on those things.

Yeah those ramps are usually to steep for most cars. I was talking to the guy at autozone a while back and he told me that even some minivans can't clear them. I once considered welding up some of my own. But after drawing out the measurements I realized that they would be so long that weight would and storage would be to much. I am now looking for a super low profile hydraulic jack for my cars.

 

The Rhino ramps will work with the stock suspension and stock bumper.

 

I got some plastic ones from checkers and they work fine on a stock height coupe, but I can see that they might not cut it on a lowered one since they barely clear the bumper. I can't even get my floor jack under the front at stock height. I learned a trick from a friend, use the stock jack to lift a front corner just enough to slide the floor jack under and you're good to go. When lowering the car since the suspension was unloaded, it will sit a little higher off the ground so you can simply drop the floor jack and it has enough room to slide out.

 

The Rhino's work with my lowered sedan/Nismo bumper but only if I stack 2 pieces of MDF/particle board (3/4" thick) in front each ramp. Not the best method....but it works.

 

If your looking for a low profile floor jack check here they seem descent and not a bad price.......hope this helps....
Also, I know Sears has a low profile aluminum floor jack rated at 4,000 lbs, but its priced at $199
