Mblock66 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I want to pick up a pair of ramps to do work under instead of using jacks. I figure cost for cost they come out equal or even less probably. PLus they would give me better peace of mind knowing I am safer under them. Anyone know a good cheap place to pick up a good enough set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rao Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Rhino Ramps. Pep Boys wil often have them on sale. Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I bought a pair from Sears that are good. The only problem is that the Subie is so low to the ground, I have to use a pair of 5' 2x10's to decrease the angle between the ground and the ramp. You will scrape your bumper on the ramps without them. I want to pick up a pair of ramps to do work under instead of using jacks. I figure cost for cost they come out equal or even less probably.

Mblock66 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 Wow I never thought of this car as being that low as to cause it to scrape on ramps. I saw the rhino ramps at sears for 29.99 but maybe I should look and see what else is out htere if they scrape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mblock66 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 Well it looks like there are Rhino Ramps and Low Profile Rhino Ramps. The latter being like $50. I think I will head over to my local Walmart and see if they have them in stock since it says that they now carry them. Should be cheaper and safer then jacks/jack stands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 there is also a heavier duty version. I have standard ones and my STi lip spoiler barely touches. I'll have to get new ones once I get the STi pinks on, or use some wood blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mblock66 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 They do make your life much easier right? How much height do they give you? I am thinking about getting a cheap creeper too. Not sure if it is worth it but with a 4hour UP DP install coming soon it might be nice to be comfy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rao Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 You will never get under the Legacy with a creeper when it is on the ramps. Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlrtime Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Maybe this could turn into a "Post your Legacy garage" thread so we can see how people are working on their Legacy's. I would also like to purchase some garage gear but I'm unsure of what to purchase. Those that have the Tool Time super garage can show off how easy they have it when it comes to upgrades.

Hooked4Life Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Listen jerk who asked you ;) Want me to pick up some ramps for you too? I will stop by autozone and see what they have. I have risked using just a jack way too many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooked4Life Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 When I lived in an Apartment I was swapping exhausts, installing different MAF's, injectors.. you name it. I used to use a bucket to put my tools in because I didnt want to lug my whole toolbox each time. My girlfriend gave it the name "Ghetto Bucket".

I will stay under the car and just bench press it off of us if it falls haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tito_b0y Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Bump from the dead! Any other recommendations for a Leggy lowered on Eibachs? Rhino ramps work? Willing to spend <$100ish if it means I don't have to use bricks/wooden blocks to lead the car before the ramps. 2006 SWP 3.0R 5EAT VDC BBQ 2008 OBP 2.5i 4EAT BBQ [RIP] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesej05 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 http://www.mustangworld.com/ourpics/news/mwramps/index.htm Had these for over 6 years and still work great. Very sturdy and only complaint is they are heavy as 5h1t to move! not bad for only $42 dollars though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xero287 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I've been using rhino ramps on Pink Springs so I assume that's as low as Eibach's. No scrapes ever. Secondly why are you worried about scraping your bumper on a piece of plastic. The only thing that scraped the ramps was the front end of my brother STi because it was lowered and the corner splitters are the only thing that scraped. So go ahead and buy the 5,000 lbs Rhino Ramps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
