All Pro Ramps
Any of you in the MidWest know of a Menards Lumber ? Looks to be like a Lowes.
http://www.menards.com/
Seems they carry some cool modular ramps that look perfect for vettes.
Very interested in the All Pro Ramps....but there is no Menards anywhere near me and their website does not show any provision for online ordering........do you, or anyone else in the MidWest, know if they offer web ordering ?

I have these ramps and they were purchased from Menards. I looked when I purchased them for an on line site and there is none. Menards doesn't offer online purchases for them either.
I reccomended them to a friend of mine who has an SSR and he went to buy a set our closest Menards. They only had the display item last week and he was told they sell very quickly from that store.
I am 50 miles from the closest Menards and wouldn't have a problem picking them up to ship to you if I knew when they were in stock and we could work out the particulars.
Maybe there will be another member who lives close that can check on the availablity and do the same for you?
Good Luck...

those almost look like the Race Ramps. Maybe they're less expensive ???
Do you know what the lift heigth is ??? and, if any part of a C5 touches the ramps when pulling onto them ?

Hey Mike.... I have these ramps and really like them. Lift height is 7" and ramp length is 44" Cost I paid was $45.00 although I was on another forum earlier and aomebody said he saw them for $23.00?
They break down in sections of 3 to store if you want but I don't.
My C5 rubber air dam touches only slightly. They absolutely don't scoot and I can just ease up on them with no problems.
Up the ramps, jack up the rear end, set jackstands in place, lower and your ready for a nice comfortable time changing oil or whatever underneath.
I also have a set of your DIY ramps I made but use them now outside only. They were good but too heavy and took up space I can use otherwise.

This is great to know, if they only rub the air damn a little I might be getting a set, only problem is I will have to wait till the next trip to Chicago, I do not have a Menards close by and I remember seeing a few on the way visiting family through Indiana.

Yea, None in New Jersey either. It's a shame Menards DOES ship some of their products (mainly kitchen and bath components) but not store stock. I'll be watching for these.

Seems to be a good product for us - and lots cheaper ....the closest thing I've seen costs $199.
So don't we Forum members have any clout? Power in numbers? Why not get a ballpark figure on how many members would buy one and maybe one of the high Magoos on this forum can approach the store for a huge group purchase.
Moderators? Who's in charge of this site and can represent the forum as a purchaser?

I sure would like to get a pair or two. 
I like the modular design and the pricing.
Seems a smart Menard's manager might be willing if he knew there was another market out there for several sets............
I looked on Google and got zip on these. it we could locate the distributor they may well be sold elsewhere as well.

I did get a email to Menard's.........here is what I got back.

........which is not what we were looking at. I want the modular model in the add.
If anyone can find these in their area at Menard's or Sams. Please post the info.
Thanks,
