Still waiting for a reply from Iceman. Here is a dumb question... How does someone contact a forum member?

Sorry for the lack of response. I've been online but not much time to reply.

jdenn, you have enough clearance for a system line mine. The stock air damn sits about 21" in front of the inside of the front wheel. My ramps allow a car that is as low as 3" to get up on them without touching.

I made a set from a set of staging planks that I had kicking around. Nothing anyone can't do in an hour, and they hang on the garage wall when your done. No scraping, and they have a safety 'stop' when you get to the top , so you can never go over!! These have been used about 30 times already with no problems!!

Hey Jeff. I think you should take your pics on sunny days. ;-)

I'll admit I went a bit overboard but I do have the ramp pieces I can move around to get one end of a vehicle in the air and I also have the ability to get any vehicle completely in the air and level. This helps when the job requires having the car elevated and level.

I would prefer to say that Iceman's ramps and my own are diversified.
