Questions & Answers
It's made up of four pieces that can be used to lift a car in two stages. I bought these for my brother because I already had the 10" single-piece ramps and had learned the hard way that you can't lift a typical car 10" in one corner in one go.

Because I don't have room in my house for a lift, I used these ramps to do a lot of work under my '93 Camaro. These raise the car to the ideal height for working on things while crawling. Having the car on jack stands didn't help much in this situation. These were also necessary for working on my suspension while it was loaded. br>br>The only issue I had with these was reliably getting the car onto them. I have a decently high-quality resume. I used a lift jack, but the cribs are so tall that I couldn't even get the wheels on them. I solved this by putting one of my rear tires on a spare wheel and jacking the other wheel up at the lower control arm mount right next to the tire, giving me just enough clearance to get one side on the crib, and then repeating for the other side. For the front, I had to lift the car high enough for the unloaded suspension to clear the crib using my engine hoist on the front bumper bar. This isn't a flaw in the product itself, but it is a problem that many users will encounter while using it. br>br>If you don't need the 12" height of these cribs, I'd recommend trying the shorter ones simply because they're easier to use.
Accessibility is outstanding! So far, everything seems to be going swimmingly. A word of caution: AFTER I PURCHASED THESE, I LEARNED THAT THEY SHOULD NOT BE USED IN THE SUN FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. I'm in the process of removing this car from the cribs and pushing it uphill into the covered carport, where it will be elevated once more with this product. br>br>Also, I don't believe you should leave a vehicle on these for extended periods of time, but I'm going to do it because it's why I spent so much money on four of these two-piece cribs. 12" cribs in a set of three: While I work on the restoration, the car will be parked there. If they don't work out for this purpose, I'll make the necessary changes to my review. I really like this product, so I'll keep giving it five stars even if I can't "misuse" it. Getting my old car a foot higher off the ground has made a huge difference in how much work I have to do. It's as simple as working beneath my lowered Jeep now. Complete accessibility without the dangers of jack stands. So far, I'd say it's highly recommended. Let's hope for the best. I'll keep you up to date as time goes on.
These are extremely useful for a variety of purposes. I used them to work underneath my car, and I didn't have any concerns about the vehicle colliding with me. I had to replace my transmission after removing it because I didn't feel safe using jack stands. I went with the 12" option. I had no choice but to use the number four. I had to use 24 pieces of wood to get it up there, but crawling in and out under the car felt safe. Thank you so much; they'll be treasured for a long time.

WOW! Most people, including myself, are struck by the price of these Race Ramps. br>br>After considering the agony of struggling with cumbersome jack stands since 1970 and never being able to reach the part I'm working on comfortably, I decided it was time to upgrade. These Race Ramps are well worth the money. br>br> They're incredibly light, strong, and stable, and give a shade tree mechanic plenty of room to work. br>br>The upper pieces are only 2 pounds each and the lower pieces are only 1 pound each.

The crib design prevents the tire from rolling on these Race Ramps, so they won't shift or break. br>br>At one point, I saw some 2" x 12" boards split in half and a wheel slam into the ground, injuring a DIY mechanic.

I'm 240 pounds and don't mind scooting around beneath the table. Lifting the car is not difficult, but my jack did not raise it high enough on its own. To add a couple of inches to my jack, I placed a split log on top of it. To add a few more inches to your jack, stack a few hockey pucks on top of each other. Although pricey, it is the best DIY kit investment in a long time, and far less expensive than having a floor jack installed. In less than two hours, I had my new motor mounts installed.
Working under the car has never been easier. They're wide enough to support the wide tires on my 2014 Corvette, so I use them. They're incredibly solid. I have more faith in them than in jack stands. I like the adjustable design because it's much easier to lift the car 5 inches at a time rather than attempting to lift each corner 10 inches at a time. Remember that when jacking up the car, the suspension allows the tires/wheels to lower several inches, so you'll need to lift it higher than the height of the blocks. These give you enough room to work underneath the car, and they're a lot easier to set up than trying to figure out where to put the jack stands so they don't get in the way. My only criticism is that, due to the foam construction, they are quite costly.
