Did you make that stepped ramp or build it? I'm thinking about making one out of wood.

Car looks good!

Lol whats the difference make/build??

I did make the ramps just a couple months ago using 2 x 10 boards from Lowes. After lowering my car I couldn't use the other two sets I had because my bumper would hit the ramp before the wheels did!

You can buy ramps for lowered cars of course but why buy something you can make! I'm on a budget these days with a mortgage and the ramps only cost about 30$ in materials! The only downside is they are pretty heavy which isn't such a bad thing for something supporting your vehicle I suppose because there is no chance they will move or slide under your wheel if you accelerate too hard which happens with the plastic ramps.

A useful pdf for you

Plus stronger than most ramps you can buy. If I were to do it over I might use 2 x 12's just to give a bit more room for error when driving up.

I notice yours look a bit different. Any specific reason why you did it differently?

No actually I just didn't buy enough wood and decided to improvise with some 4x4's

Such a good spot I really need to go back there sometime. You need to stop over man and check out the garage in person! I'm not sure what you got going on these days with school but any weekend works for me just let me know.
