Ramps for lowered cars?
For you folks that are lowered and using ramps to do your oil changes, can you suggest a brand/model. I feel more secure using ramps over jackstands. I actually have a set of normal ramps but my car is too low (2" drop on Tein Basics). I'm assuming that ramps that accomodate lowered cars have a more gradual/longer incline? Thanks!!

I've had Rhino Ramps for years....great ramp, but a little tricky to keep in place when you drive on if your base is flat concrete. If that's the case, get a couple of cheap rubber mats and put them under the ramps to give some grip.
As for how high, my set slope evenly up to 6.5" high over 21" of ramp...resting height over the lip is 6" up and the end block is a total of 8.5" high. With the 6.5 x 21 measurement, you could mock up a piece of cardboard to get an idea of if you can do it. Good luck.
