    Re: need help with lowered car

    Your set-up(down ) doesn't leave you too
    many options. Here's a few ideas I have
    that may just get you over-the-hump:

    I. If you're going to use this particular shop,
    then you're going to need to build a quite long, and
    able to be taken-apart, approach/incline:


    ...having a pitch similar to these pre-fabbed ramps:






    _______________________________________________

    II. Find a shop that has an inground
    work-pit, similar to this:


    _________________________________________________

    III. Or a shop/friend that has a
    two post lift, similar to this:


    ______________________________________________

    Re: need help with lowered car

    Thanks everyone for the help, but my front end clears the ramp and we can get the front tire close to the point the ramp levels out on the lift, but we can't go any further because the side skirts/frame touch the top bend corner of the ramp and we are stuck there

    Then what about putting the wood in front of the rear wheels once the front is up on the ramp. Then use the wood as a slowly elevating runner to slowly lift the rear tires onto the ramp

    That's the problem that the extended
    approach ramps will resolve!
