Default I ended up getting Rhino Ramps

even with my low front end they work great and are like $35

Those look REALLY nice though Reggie.

Default My neighbor went to those after his incident on the Griots ramps but my other neighbor

could not use Rhinos with his vette. Incline was too steep.

Default LOL @ "Discount Ramps" and $390 shipped!

For that $$, I want to build a better jacking system. I seems to need the wheels off more often than not so my ramps don't get much use.

Default I've got thos ehard plastic/fiberglass ramps from Autozone, one is cracked and will be replaced

I've had them for about 4 yrs, one problem they are rated to 4,000 lbs each, but my pickup which does not weigh that much stresses them a lot.

Default Other options they carry -- interesting

Reggie -- seems like their $145 shipped "roll ups" might be an alternative to jacking up the rear.

An alternative to a garage lift for those of us with "poor man" normal garage ceiling height -- or for showing off at next year's DATR. Not cheap at around $1,900 for the 5,000 lb model.
