Ok so after my last bout with my redneck engineering to get my lowered srt up high enuff to work under it I am looking for a good alternative, in comes Race Ramps So who has a set of Race Ramps and do you have any clearance issues (clearing the spoiler)getting the car on the ramps? I'm considering the their 67 inch 2 piece ramps. Anyone know a place to buy them any cheaper? So lets hear it before I unload $350 for a set of ramps.

I have a set but have never had the car on them. They do get loaned out a lot though. I have been on a set at SHR several times. The spoiler on my car will clear them fine as I have lined it up to check. Mine is also very low (I am actually going to lift it a bit).

Granted, my car isn't lowered, however my 69 dollar Wal-Mart ramps work just fine. I can go measure the angle and length if you like.

I've got those, Sean. I can't get up them without my 2x10's ahead of the ramps.

Sam I have the same problem. I have a set of rhino ramps, the angle is to steep. Plus the race ramps are 10 inches tall.

I figured you lowered guys would have that issue...depends Kenny, a circular saw and some lumber or the convenience of an all inclusive package.

I have the one piece 56" Race Ramps. They have an 8" lift and are really nice to have. My Charger is lowered (for now) and I can drive right up no issues. I got the same ones my buddy got and he has no issues driving his c6 z06 up on them.

They are great for oil changes. I also back up on them occasionally to get to the rear end. If you really need to get the car up high, they are not a great solution. Nothing replaces a floor jack and jack stands.

Yeah Alan thats what I had to do also with my Rhino Ramps. I also had to put two 2x12's high under each ramp to get the front end up high enuff to get under it to do the full exhaust, Mine was some serious Redneck engineering shit! Think I've made up my mind to get the 67" 2 piece ramps and be done with. The wife didn't like the looks of it when I had all the wood under the ramps before so she told me to just buy the ramps, they'll be your birthday present.

I have the 12000 lb rhino ramps from oreillys too. Wide and tall enough for me but wouldn't work with a lowered car.

The angle on the Rhino ramps is to steep and won't clear the spoiler on a lowered car. I have 2x12's cut to put in front of the ramps but I'm tired of all that BS I wanna make getting the car up in the air as easy as possible. I'm ordering the Race Ramps this afternoon.

They work fine for stock srt height, but any lower no go.
