Default If I drop my car using BMR springs....

will I still be able to use my rhino ramps? I don't think there is a ton of clearence as is with the front end and my Rhino ramps. Anyone have a lowered car and are still able to use the ramps?

I have stock shocks and I need to use 1/4" thick pieces of wood to get my car up rhino ramps. I have the factory ground effects though.

Pieces of wood in front of the ramps would work but I dont get why people like to use ramps? I like a good jack & some stands if I have to lift a car.

I use ramps because it's easier for me to drive up on them and not have to mess with getting my jack and stands from the basement. They're extremely useful if what you're doing doesn't involve taking the wheels off.

I agree, for stuff like changing oil, it's much easier just to drive onto ramps than jacking and using jack stands.

My car is also lowered and I don't have trouble driving onto my rhino ramps. Like someone else mentioned, place about a 1" thick board in front of each ramp and that should get you the extra clearance if you need it.
