Hola Mr. Chicken,

Awesome idea and info., however, a blatant link to a competitive forum with no other discussion/supporting text is not allowed. Don't want to come off like an SS trooper, just doing my job.

Can you recreate the information and post it here?

Welcome to SN and post some pics of that stripe job when you have a chance.

I have ramps, but they won't work once I get a chin spoiler installed. Even now I have to put a few boards on each side so that the front doesn't scrape.

I have a board too, and found that it sounds pretty bad if I get territorial and try to diss anybody else, as though they have nothing to say. The reason that boards exist is so that the readers gain information- well, that's my philosophy anyway. I don't care whose board is whose. You have the authority to limit posts, but that's a silly rule.

Basic overview:
Take 2"x10"s(or 2"x12"s if you have wider tires)and build step ramps with 18" between each step. As shown it will lift your car 6". Add a 5th row and your car will be lifted 7.5". Adding the 5th step will still not have your rear tires touch the ramp. Pre-drill holes for the nails/screws to prevent the wood from splitting.

Other than being a little on the heavy side they sure will do the trick and for not a lot of $$.

Thanks for sharing

That's what they were saying. Depending on the dampness of the wood, they could weigh around 30-40 lbs each. They said they used $30 in materials to build them. Not bad considering they will support many many tons and not scrape front ends that only have 2" of front ground clearance. Ground clearance is already a problem with the ramps I have and I still have OEM tires and suspension

I was always curious what would be the best rate of incline. That looks perfect

What in the world is wrong with you man! You better get on the ball and do something about that!

Me too

I haven't found a good winter beater yet, so I've decided not to lower it or get wheels until I do.

$$$$ When I get some saved up(by year's end), I will be getting tires/wheels and the K springs.

Or you could buy my sportlines for $125 still in the box that I have no use for anymore since I'm selling my car

I appreciate it, but a 2" rear drop may not allow for the 10" wide wheel with the 295s I want to run

It will. My friend has 295's out back and 265's up front with a sportline drop.

He has 18x9's up front and 18x10s out back.

Thanks hobo Just not time for me to pull the trigger...yet

Anytime man. I'll probably still have them laying in my room for quite some time so just shoot me a PM if you decide you want 'em.
