Rhino Ramps

I bought two sets, one to drive up on and the other for the rears after I jack up the back.

FOr $20 a set you can't go wrong.

Check your local newspaper, Pep Boys has been having them on sale for $15!

Oh, and black vs. silver rhino ramps - they are the same angle, just different weight capacities...

Rhinos
I bought silver thinking they had a better approach angle but someone posted pics and they appear to be the same.

The sliver ones are also wider.

I got the silvers at Wall-Mart. They work great, but if your going to do an oil change you'll need to jack the rear up and either put another set of ramps under them or jack stands. That way you can drain all the oil. As a matter of fact, I need to change my oil myself. I guess I know what I'll be doing tomorrow! Thanks for reminding me!

I have changed oil on C5's 15 to 20 times. I have never used any ramps.
They are not necessary. I have enough stuff in my garage now.
1 jack under the rear and 1 jack under the side with jack stand.
Works great. Just an option.
If you are going to do other work under the car then ramps are great.

The silver ones have a picture of a C5 Vette on them as well.
