bought my RLL-87-2 from Fred. Great guy to deal with and the ramps are stellar.

Confirmed....these definitely don't work for my application. I got the car up by making extenders, but the rear is so low there's no chance of getting a jack under it. I think I'm going to go the Kwiklift route.

A set of the RLL-87-2 ramps and a pair of 4" high Roll-ups would probably work for you. If you position the 67" ramps 20" in front of your tires and then set a 54" long stick between the tire footprint and the ramp you would get a good idea of whether or not the RLL-87-2 ramp will work with your car.

I have the same problem when my car is on the ramps. I'd like to jack it up from the back but it's too low. I think the only solution is some roll-ups.

Uncle Meat - how do you jack the rear once it's on the ramps?

0Fred@ReverseLogic

Another possibility would be to use a set of Trak-Jax low profile ramps instead of the Roll-ups. The ones without stops would be better that way you would not have to worry about hitting the stops with the rear tires before the front tires were completely on the platform of the service ramps.

Looks like he has a slight incline in the driveway and he placed boards under rear tire as he drove up the ramps which allowed him enough clearance for the jack in the rear. That would be my guess since if you look at OP picture you can see the boards are still in place on rear tires.

I think this is the only solution guys, what do you guys think

Well, I came across a real low profile jack today at Harbor Freight that met my needs. I built a small initial access ramp which lifted the front enough to lift the car with the new jack as well as get under the rear of the car.

I do want to thank Fred for his valuable insights and help. I would highly reccommend Fred and any of his products.

Uncle Meat

Almost correct.

I set up the ramps as shown in the first picture. My driveway does have a slight grade to it, it drops about 1.25 inches every 3ft.

I drive up the ramps until the front wheels hit the stops, no boards used in the process though. Then I grab my low profile floor jack and raise the rear end. Then I slide those boards and the 10" Race Ramp Wheel Cribs under the rear tires so the car sits perfectly level.

When I bought my Race Ramps I bought a pair of wheel cribs too. However I did not account for the driveway slope (DOH!) and without those 1 inch boards under there the car would not be level on just the cribs alone.

U.M.

0Fred@ReverseLogic

Are you certain that you have the 10" wheel cribs? Comparing the height to the length of the wheel cribs, or comparing the height to the diameter of your wheels it looks like they are the 8" high model.

A possible alternative to using the boards to compensate for the driveway slope could be to reverse the direction of the car in the drive.

Uncle Meat

I went and looked and they are in fact the 8 inch cribs. My bad.

The reason I don't reverse the direction is because that increases the angle enough that my air deflector makes solid contact with the extenders and sometimes pushes the ramps across the concrete instead of rolling up them.

U.M.

How are you jacking up the rear end ? I've found once I have it up on the race ramps, I can't even get my long incredibly low profile jack under the exhaust, let alone with a cross bar to lift the back end up properly

Uncle Meat

My Sears low profile floor jack clears the exhaust with room to spare.

I just ordered ramps, chocks and cribs from Fred today. His bundled price was absolutely the best I could find anywhere!

Thx Fred

I use the regular old Rhino ramps...$29.95 at most stores. I do need a piece of 2"x12" (about 2 feet long) on each side to get me up on the Rhino ramps. Cheap, easy, works fine. I also have a Kwiklift for those times when I need more under-car access. But for cheap, easy economical under-car access, Rhino ramps are the best!
