Default rhino ramps

Not sure if this is in the right section but how do you all go about getting your lowered cars on rhino ramps

I used to use steel ramps and got tired of fighting to drive up on them, so I made these out of 2x8s.

Now that I have a garage, all my rhino ramps do is slide across the floor when I try driving on top of them. When they did hold, I'd just drag my OEM ground effects pieces on them. I don't really take the best care of my car appearance though, lol

Another cool trick I do once in a while is when I'm driving off of them if they are on the rear of the car is give it a little gas and fire them backward and slamming the back tires on the ground

If you have a problem with them slipping get a set of rubber floor mats and put them half way under the front of the ramps and drive right up on them.

Don't know exactly what brand they are (I can check) but I have some plastic ramps and my car clears them fine, also on stranos. Also cleared them on the pro kit..

My only problem is I wish they were wider, they're barely wide enough for 275s

Lol, I don't mean to. I should have said, it's not really cool to do this.

Ladies and gentleman, don't try this at home.

I need to try that thing with the rubber floor mats. Hope that works!

I'd imagine anyone who has around a 1.2 foot drop should be ok as long as they have no ground effect kit on theirs. I kick/jam my ramps underneath the factory ground effects and then drive up from there. If they weren't there, it would probably perfectly clear
