Race Ramps
I'm old enough that getting the car in the air with a jack and stands, especially high enough to work comfortably, isn't amusing. I tried Rhino Ramps but they scooted miserably on my garage floor.
Enter Race Ramps (RR-56-2 56" Race Ramp - 2 Piece).
Pros: Strong, wide, convenient, non-skid.
Cons: On the expensive side.
Comments: I wish I'd purchased them long ago and saved myself some toil and trouble.

Re: Race Ramps

Re: Race Ramps
I have same issues with the Rhino ramps, I finally drilled some holes in my Garage floor and just drop a big bolt in the hole to anchor the ramps. Those race ramps are nice due to their 2 piece construction, wish I could convince myself to spring for them...

Re: Race Ramps
I've got the two piece regular ones but they're not wide enough for the tires. I'm teaching myself to weld so maybe I can make some. Good incentive to get the welding right.

Re: Race Ramps
I have been debating this vs the quick jack setup for the extra change. Glad to know they clear the front
