Have the 56", 2 piece for my '95. You'll like them. Use them for all my cars, makes oil changes, etc. pretty easy. Get the wheel chocks, I use them as car stoppers in my garage when not using the ramps. No more tennis ***** on a string to determine where to stop. Plus, keeps the wife from crashing into the dining room.

Do the yardstick test described in the attachment. The standard 56" and 67" ramps have a 10.7˚ incline compared to a 17˚ incline on the ramps you are currently using. If you need something lower than that, we offer custom 2-stage incline ramps with an initial incline of 6.8˚.
Orders for Race Ramps service ramps placed before 31-Mar-2012 are eligible for the free wheel chock factory rebate offer.

Tie a 10 foot rope to the bottom of the ramp and drag it out the front side of the ramp. You'll position the rope so you run it over as you approach the ramps. Make sure the rope is long enough that the rear tires have run the rope over before the front tires touch the incline on the ramps.
The rear tires will hold the rope down and not allow the ramps to scoot along the floor as you drive onto them.
I bought a pack of cheap ratchet tie downs from the $5 bin at the local auto parts store and sacrificed two of the straps so that I had something flat to use instead of a round rope. The ramps never rocked on the rope, but I was afraid that might happen. The hooks on the end of the straps also made attaching them to the underside of the ramps easy.
