Any suggestions to a good set? I tried to use some my father had, but my bumper would make contact before my tires..

 

Found some, and thought I'd share since these were much less than I expected..

If you want to buy from the store - Rhino Ramps seemed to be a good choice. Only about $35. Just google it, they're all over.

Since I'm already DIYing, I think I'll go this route: http://www.mustangworld.com/ourpics/...amps/index.htm

 

They sell them at Advance Auto Parts cheap.

 

if your car is lower, you need low profile ramps. i really have the problem with my mach 1 lip...i just use a jack and jack stands.

 

If you want to use your "fathers ramps", just put a small piece of 2x4 at the base of the ramp. When you drive onto the 2x4, your car will be higher, eliminating the sudden step. If this doesn't work, do a 1-2 2x4 stack similar to the DIY picture above. I had to do this while using ramps this summer.....

 

Thanks for the tip; I'll try this tomorrow!

 

Not sure if this is what you meant, but my car is stock height. These are some old school ramps - not sure if that has anything to do with how steep they are.

 

lots of clearance with a stock set up, and also works well if you have a stillen front lip

 

my dad has these ramps that look like giant legos and he uses them to balance our camper. since i plan on going lower, these seem like a good choice, instead of getting an expensive low profile jack....for now atleast.

something like that, now that i think about it, it would take a lot to make a decent ramp. though, the concept is there...i guess.

 

I made my own like the guy in the Mustang forum. I just have 3 layers of wood instead of the 4 he has. If you drive through a new contruction neighborhood you probably could find all your materials in a dumpster.
