What ramps do you guys use to support our wide tires?

01-05-2002, 02:03 PM

I've been using my same ramps I've had since 8 years ago, but I want some to support my tires. They bulge over the side and are offset when up there so is there a ramp made for larger tires? How about those Rhinos??

Yep... Rhino ramps work pretty good. But it's still a little tight under the truck because of my fat *****. The first set I had wouldn't fit under the ground effects.

The tires are about the same width as the ramp - almost no buldging. But if you're worried, you can always buy two sets and tie two together per tire. There's no lip on the edge of the Rhinos.

Ditto on the rhino's. The L's tires are exactly the width of my ramps lol. They can support 6000 pounds each so they are very sturdy.

Looks like I'm heading to get some Rhinos. I needed extensions for my metal ones so my front end didn't scrape. Does the L roll up with no problem? Does the Rhino angle work with no other extensions?

has anyone actually put anything heavy on the rhino ramps? they say rated at 6000 each, and i have a few trucks with front axle weights to a tad under 8000. they sure would beat jacking the trucks up. i believe they are some composit material?
just curious

I use jack stands the front dam will not clear ramps when you are sitting low.

My L rolls up with plenty of clearance with no extensions, just the ramps, even after I lower the front 1". Yes, they are made of some type of composite or plastic material. Great product.

My uncle was killed when his Malibu was up on jack stands and they collapsed on him. Ever since then, I HATE going under the car/truck. Even when I was in the military and had full use of a lift, I would be under my car for as little time as possible.
