what low profile ramps?

Post by rc944 » Wed Nov 29, 2023 4:30 pm

got rid of my aging cougar metal ramps with additional section to accomodate the low ground clearance given the front splitter and my driveway is on a slope

now looking for a new set so what are folks using these days?

After thinking these metal ramp extensions wouldn't go low enough, I got these plastic things and to be honest I wasn't that confident that they took the weight. Back to end on scaffold boards I think.

Try these https://cjautosheywood.co.uk/product/hy ... 00kg-cr01/

I bought a pair for my TVR, now sold, together with the extenders for low cars they are ideal. They also work nicely on my E46.

Cheers

A bit pricey but feel safer getting underneath!
