Default People still use ramps??? Get yourself a good 2 ton jack.

Leave the ramps to n00bs.
All they do is take up space and don't help much.
If u in a jam...
1 wheel up the side walk and 1 wheel on the street...plenty of space to get under and see/quick fix.

Default Walmart sells Rhino ramps for about $35, they are a good choice, but not alot of lift...

i hate jacking up a car, so it is nice to get on ramps, but if your car is low, you will still be very tight on space.

Cheers,
Sameer
