Rhino Ramp and Decking Material
Howdy:
I found a link earlier tonight of someone who used a piece of decking material and attached it to the bottom of a Rhino ramp so the air dam wouldn't hit. For the life of me, I can't find it again!
Can someone help me find my way to that link? If the poster of the method with the decking material could respond with the thread, that would be great also.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards,
Rossi

If you guys want ramps and are concerned about height/length issues, you need to check out this website.
I use these ramps at our shop and they're cool because they're EXTREMELY light.... have great angles and once the car is on the rear part of the ramp, you can remove the ramp part and thus have room to work under the car.

Aha!
You da man! Of all the ways to change the oil I researched yesterday, the Rhino ramps seemed to be the best way and the best buy. And I must say that this is the easiest (and best) way to avoid the car contacting the ramps!
Thanks! I've got it bookmarked now.

It WONT keep then from sliding. I only use them on the concrete.
I have 2 holes in my garage floor that I put bolts through if I need to use them insdie, but i have a small garage so its just not worth the trouble.

Place a fold piece of a rubberized grip material that is used under rugs to stop slipping. It is available at all the home "DIY" stores. It may take several folds so you have a strong contact with the lift and ground. The material can be used in your tool box to avoid bangs and digs of the box sheveles and keep itens from rolling. It is less $$$ than buying the stuff sold by/for tool boxes.

The board is 24 inches long, the first short leg is at 7 1/2 inches and the second is at 14 1/2 inches. The length of the two legs depends on the incline of the ramps.
