Rhino Ramps
I've read all of the threads on Rhino Ramps on this forum, some like them and some don't. I bought mine from Pep Boys for $40 and got the 12,000. They were wider than the 8,000. I also used the rubber mat under them so the back tires would take a bite and not push them back. I also made a double 2x6's for the front. I wanted to install the CAGS and also change oil. The setup was great for the CAGS, but a little too low for the oil change. I was able to do it only because I have long arms. Next time I'm going to use a 3 layer set for the front. Anyway the Rhino Ramps worked great. Here's a pic.

I have had those for years and even parked SUVs on them without a problem, strange....
I wonder if they are removing material simply to save cost....
Moike; I look forward to meeting you hopefully soon to do some exhaust work....

I have the light gray ramps( sticker gone).I believe they have a better weight rating and are a bit wider than the darker rhino ramps.
I use them on all my cars and never had a problem.

For the exhaust work...I have a quote coming over for titanium to try to beat the other price I posted. We'll see what they can do.

I have two sets of Rhino ramps. One set I have had for over 12 years. I use this set for the front of the car. I lay down a foot long 2X10 and drive the front of the car up on them and then onto the Rhino ramp to keep from dragging the spoiler on the ramp. This is how I have been changing oil in my Z since I got it. Works well for me. If needed, I can put both ends of the car on ramps. I use them on my 70 all the time also.
One thing about using the ramps on an incline. I would be very cautious when backing up the ramps and the ramps on the pointing down the incline. It would be easier for the ramps to roll if you went up the ramp too fast and hit the brakes or stop hard. Just something to think about. YMMV.
