Default Low Profile Ramps
Guys I'm trying to get a set of low pro ramps. I cant seem to find any here locally so I'm probably going to be turning to the web. Does anyone make a good pair for under 100 dollars? Links will be appreciated.

Get a set of the large Rhinoramps (11k capacity), unless you have really wide tires.

made mine 2 years ago they are heavy as hell but strong as an ox and work for 95% of undercar work.

You can use 2x12's but 2x10's work in most cases

Yea, those defiantly look like they would feel so much safer. I hate getting under my car with a jack. Scares the living outta me.

Rhinos at Auto zone aren't low profile. My cars lowered, thus low profile.

that is a nice build, but i just think the final ramp should be a little longer..id just be afraid of the ramp flipping.

The last ramp which I assume you are talking about is the smallest piece in this setup. My car will not be driven on top of that lol. That piece just lets me know that its time to stop.

My car's lowered too;about a 2" drop. I use, and have been using the large RhinoRamps for quite a few years, with no problems.
