Default ramps....

Does anyone know of any low rise ramps out there. I don't feel like taking my car to someone else to have them change my oil. But the ramps that I currently have won't clear my intercooler piping. Thanks

yea i made custom ramps becuase my car is usually too low to get a jack under it .
i grabed soem 2x4s; and stacked 2 of them the top one placed further back and cut like 45 degree angles on the ends, to make like step ramps . i nailed em together and zipped off any nail sticking out if there ws any.
works like a charm

you can drive one wheel up on the side of a curb to give you clearance to put a jack under it.

Just curious but why do you have to have the car on ramps, i know its easier and all, but just use jackstands for now, till you run into some ramps that will suit your needs..Well thats what i do anyways..

you know what, i never thought of just doing that, i've always been afraid of watching my car fall on me in slow motion. F it, i'll just use the jack stands, i'm just making this too difficult for myself.

I just jack my car up and slip the ramps under the wheels. I have a jack that goes real high.
