Car ramps that fit our car?

Does anyone know where to get some? Went to O'Reilly's today and they only had plastic ones. As of now I'm using some metal ones that are for pickups, and laying 2x6's across the ramp to get clearance.

I got some plastic ones at Wally World and they work fine. I am lowered and have an ASPEC kit, no problems.

I bought metal ramps at harbor and freight a few weeks ago for around $40. They worked well with my TL.

Rhino Ramps have done me well! With a 12,000 lb capacity that is nearly a 4:1 safety factor.

I've used the 12,000 rhino ramps on my TL too without any problems (other than shooting out the ramps from underneath me because I forgot that I had chocked the back tires... doh!)

Anyways, I just got the 16,000 lbs ones... I think those are just wider versions essentially. The width of the stock TL tires just fit on the 12,000 lb rhino ramps, so I think the 16,000 lbs ones are probably a better fit for our cars.

WTF! How are all of you using Rhino Ramps with success? Y'all must be lowered like 0.5-1.5 inches or something because I purchased those exact same rhino ramps and my TL does not fit.

I can't even slide the ramp under my bumper because it hits my bumper. As a matter of fact, I even cracked my front bumper trying to use the rhino ramps + blocks of wood to try and pull my TL up. The bumper got caught on a block of wood when trying to reverse off the ramp (was reversing because I realized it still wouldn't clear the ramp with the wood) and ripped the bumper off the mounting screw at the corner near the drivers side headlights.

My question to you all, how many finger wheel gap do you have? If you have a 0 to 1 finger gap it's hard to believe you all are able to use rhino ramps without a problem... My TL is lowered and has about 1.5 finger gap all around

I'm stock too. I like the metal ones that have the little raised edges, even if they won't make a huge difference they make me feel better

I don't finger my fenders, so not sure there, but I'm dropped just under 1.5".

Well I use the rhino ramps but forgot to mentioned that I have to go over 2 pieces of wedged plywood on the front wheels before going onto the ramps for clearance.
