I have a 2003 gt and I cant get under car to change the oil. I want to know if anyone has the rhino ramps , not the low profile ones just the standard ones. They are $19.99 at sears.com. will the front end clear the incline? Also do they have rubber feet on the bottom? Check them out ! Will this work?

I use my standard Rhino Ramps all the time. They barely fit under the front fascia at the stock ride height. I cannot drive up the ramps on the slick garage floor. I have to use them in the driveway where the rubber feet can get a grip.

I have them also. SteveZ is right, You can not drive on the ramps on smooth concrete. I mainly use them to put under my tires once I jack the car up. That way I don't have to worry about the car falling off of the jack.

I use them and they work great. I use them in the garage and they don't slip at all. Perfect for changing oil, X-pipe, exhaust stuff, etc..etc. Never had them slip on me and my garage floor is smooth and painted. If you pull forward slowly, as soon as the weight is on the first part of the ramp, it's pushing down on the rubber feet. The more weight there is, the less it will slide. Now, if you take a big run at them, they will slide a bit.

I have the standard ones and it never has hit the front or run away when I drive onto them. I like them a lot.

I tried to use some awhile back but they just kept sliding on me, so I ended up building some out of 2" x 10"s. The lumber wasn't cheap but I built it so we could do work on a vette also. So when I lower mine, I'll be able to use those ramps.

there are some orange ones... not sure the make, but they can have attachments to them which make lowered cars able to get on them...

I had the same trouble after lowering my car. Bought some ramp extensions and they work well. I found that the ramp extensions also keep the ramps from sliding on the smooth concrete, too.

I have the standard black ones that I bought at AutoZone. They are
great for oil changes etc... On asphalt at my office they slide like anything
even approaching them slow. I put concrete blocks behind them and that
was enough to get my stang up. Great product at a great price. Mark

I use mine all of the time. But I use a 2"x6"x18" piece of wood on each to clear.

I have my car lowered with H&R SS, plus I have an 01 Cobra front end. The ramps I have make contact with the bumper *JUST* before the wheels hit the ramp. I guess driving up on a little sheet of wood should take care of that though.

Yeah, that would be a bit of a pain. How do you get the front of your car off the ground? Gotta reach way in through the side, or lift it one side after the other?

If your car is lowered and you use the ramps, put a block of wood right infront of the ramps.

I made my own set of ramps awhile ago out of PT 2x10's. But I just recently bought a pair of Rhino Ramps as well.....so I can have all four tires up on ramps.
