Anyone tried Race Ramps?

I have a set for my trailer to extend the aluminum ramps for airdam clearance. Works well. My set is different from your pics. Mine are extensions where the aluminum ramp lays on top in a formed groove at the front.

I have owned these 2-piece Race Ramps for 12 years: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003ZAHTC4

The 67 inch is nice if you have a lowered car or front air dam.

As for being sturdy, I used them when changing the oil on a 2024 Frontier Pro-X with no issues. The curb weight of that model is 4565lbs.

I bought Rhino ramps and use them with my cars and lawn mower for removing and sharpening the blades. They work great for me and cost a lot less. Also they stack together for easy storage.

I used to have a set of the old metal ramps that would slide across the garage floor when trying to drive the car up the ramp. These look like they are so much better. I also have an E89 Z4 which would also benefit from the purchase. I’ll post a few pics after I recoup from tax season.

Rhino Ramps? Are these the ones you're talking about?

What I liked about the Race Ramps over the Rhino Ramps is that it is easier for me to get under the car. If you're skinny & don't have a lowered car/air dam, Rhino Ramps are fine.

The Harbor Freight version of Rhino Ramps will be on sale April 7-14 for about $45. The 7-10th are for Inside Track members.

I have QuickJacks, too. They aren't as fast as ramps, but they can raise all four corners. They came in handy when I needed to replace a bad transmission and replace suspension bushings. You need wall space to store them. I mounted a 2x6 board to about 3 or 4 studs and mounted the hangers on the 2x6.

When I got mine, one of the pistons was faulty (not uncommon), but they sent a replacement that I received a week later.

I'd love to have quick jacks, but I've used a set of standard plastic ramps for a couple of decades.
