OK, how do you guys get the car on the ramps? I mean the bumper is so low, that starts bending when I am trying to put the car up.
Any recomendations?
Thanks.

Make some extensions out of some boards or something.

I use a one ton hydralic jack. It works great! I just jack up the right hand side and have no problems! Good Luck.

I use the black plastic Rhino ramps and have no problems with the fornt end, though I have stock springs and no kit.
Otherwise, get some sort of helper to make the angle less steep.

Hello.
I ordered some ramps from a Corvette catalog. I think it was Mid America Corvette. Anyway, they are standard metal ramps with these funky plastic extensions that snap on them so that you can drive a low rider up on them.
On Asian Honey's Celica we had the same problem so I modded her metal ramps so that she could use the same plastic extensions that I have. I had to cut holes in her ramps and my dad cut some blocks of wood to go under the extensions so that they would site level and not pop out when she drove her car up on them. We tried them on my J-car and her GTS with no probs.
For my sis's Escort we just nailed some long boards together and used them to increas the hight of the center of the ramp so that her air dam spoiler would clear the lips on the side of the ramps.
