Rhino Ramps (come Non-Lowered Gs)

Category: Accessories
Price: $45
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Location (State/Prov): CA
Item Condition: Brand New

Hey guys I have a brand new set of RhinoRamps thats rated at 12,000 GSW.
Here's a link to what i'm talking about and pictures below:
Welcome to RhinoRamps®

I initially bought it in the hopes of being able to change my oil easier but I'm lowered on eibachs and the bumper doesnt clear the ramp while going up BUT by a small margin. that's why these ramps would be ideal for nonlowered Gs (or other cars).

I'm selling these @ $45 OBO and am NOT willing to ship because it's way too big and shipping would be too expensive. I prefer local pickup in SOCAL (im usually around the 626/LA area on the weekends and Irvine on the weekdays with the exception that ill be between both area in the next 2 days and out of state on the weekend)
hit up me with a call or text at 626 549 5170 or email at edtruong@uci.edu

*It can really handle up to 3000lbs each or 6000lbs pair of weight. The GSW measurement is just a marketing ploy :P

i tried nearly everything because i really wanted this method to work. reason being: i wanted to raise my car just enough to do easy oil changes or to fit my jack underneath to lift it from the garage point.
now i have to jack from the side which i have no idea how to do. i dont want to do the hockey puck method/ jack adapter method (i would be down if someone were to give me a hockey puck or adapter that would fit perfectly on the saddle). body frame? i have noidea, how would you set the stands on then!? help anyone?

i realized that on the way back to my apartment something i didnt try:
instead of driving straight into them with the ramps wedged into the front tires,
reverse into them with the ramps wedged BEHIND the front tires. but i doubt it would fit under my car either
im pretty sure theyll work fine on non lowered though :P

I use the same ramps, but I made 3 step 2x4 ramps to get up and on the the rhino ramps. Works very well and I am on coilovers. They are very secure ramps.

Get an adapter, put the jack stands on the subframe rail. Works fine.

ive looked at a couple of adapters but how does the other end attach to the jack? it looks like a stick on the other not not a pad which shoudl sit on the saddle.

my G is not lowered yet but I have old steel ramps that my front lip would hit when i drive up onto them. I got some boards to graduate up the ramp and it works perfectly. no problems. i will need to make something else whenever i install my eibachs, but im not concerned.

Not dumping on your FS thread, but all you need to do is make yourself some ramps to get onto your ramps (for lack of a better term) and these will work for you. I used 2x12 and 1x12 lumber to make mine and they work well even though I am low on coilovers.
