Our two-peice ramps have removeable incline portion which allows greater access to the underside of the car, as you can get in under the rocker panel.

We have a 56" version (RR-56-2) which is 8" tall, and 67" version (XT-2) which is 10" tall. Both have the same 10 degree approach angle for low cars, so the choice between the two is a matter of height.

If you wish to keep the car level, you can get our Wheel Cribs to put under the back tires, while the front tires are up on the ramps. They are available in 8", 10" and 12" heights.

I have your long ramps but want something to set the rear wheels on so the rear is slightly higher than the front.

Moserbe speaks the truth. Or get the 10" high XT-2 and the 12" high wheel cribs.

Oh, you have further options!

We have one piece 12" or two-piece.

We are devoted to dialed in options...

Please see http://www.raceramps.com/wheelcribs.html for pricing, product descriptions, and options. Personally, I would go for the Adjustable Wheel Cribs because it provides varying heights.

Feel free to contact me for clarifiation.
