Default RhinoRamps

Anyone have these and like/dislike them. These GXPs are low, one of my floor jacks doesn't even fit under the front, just making sure these will actually work before I start scouring for deals on them. All input is appreciated, but GXP owners especially or cars that have been lowered. Looking for something easier than jacking the car up every time I need to check something. Not interested in steel ramps at all, I have no confidence in those. Thanks

I actually sells those Rhino Ramps and have had good luck with them. But knowing Grand Prixs like I do I kind of doubt that your GXP would make it up those ramps without the front bumper hitting the ramp on the way up.

The one thing I am questions is what is with the "frustration free packaging" for an extra $20. I've never seen that before.

$20 to take something out of a wrapper seems pretty excessive but what do I know I'm just a dumb white boy.

My car is lowered and I use ramps similar to the Rhino ramps. What I do to not scrape the bottom of my bumper is I lay T-shirts over my ramps.

I am asking about the ramp BECAUSE I don't want to jack, I have 5 different jacks and can get the car jacked just fine but have back issues so looking for information on the ramps. Thanks

You may have to jack each side up a bit then insert the ramp already halfway up! Set your parking break and then start it up and drive up the rest of the way... if ramps are hitting from the initial driveup. WIth this approach you use the things you already own... keep your money.

Or build "steps" up to the ramp so the from tires are up a little bit therefore bringing the nose up to clear the ramps

My buddy used those on C5Z06 vette and they just barely fit. He was lowered slightly. I have not had my GXP at his house or tried to use them, but he said they were the best solution and the vette guys love them.

I have rhino ramps.. worked perfectly fine for my 2006 Monte Carlo SS.. now I use them for my john deere...

I had to get a set of Race Ramps for my 2014 Camaro 2SS/RS because the camaro sits much lower than the Monte and the rhino's wouldn't work... the Race Ramps are nicer/better ramps in my opinion..
