I just bought these from harbor freight up in ft Collins, and my car can't clear the height, so I am looking to recoup some of what I paid. I paid $42 for them, looking for $30 firm, they are brand new, never used just can't get my honda to clear them
Hey Matt...get a couple 2x4s or even a 4x4 and lay them sideways across the front of the ramps. Use it as a "step" up on to the ramp. Had to do that with my old Honda that was dropped 2" on a full suspension...worked like a charm. Once it's at the top of the ramp you can wedge a 2x4 long ways right between the wheel and the ramp and roll down that way.
Just a little tip if you wanna give it a try in case you can't unload them.
yea...you can use a 2x4 as an extender and lay them longways to ride both up and down. I hard a hard time riding up the 2x4s without a spotter...so I used a 4x4 across the front of the ramp perpendicular as a step up onto the ramp to clear the height, then pulled it away and replaced it with a 2x4 lengthwise to get back down safely.
Extending it with 2x4s is definitely the easier route for going up and down the ramps though. Eventually I bought a new jack that sit much lower to the ground, but I know how much more convenient (and cheaper) those ramps can be.
Also...FYI you can sink a pair of flathead bolts into the 2x4 and set the bolts down into the holes on the ramp to make it stable. Forgot to mention that key point, lol
