40 years of working on cars and I've never used any ramps. No particular reason, it's just not that hard to jack the car up and use jackstands. One thing always bothered me about ramps though -- it's

I have had exactly the same experience. My wife's Subaru Forester (AWD) goes right up the Rhino Ramps with no problems, but my 2WD GMC PU tries to push them out of the way. If I get them perfectly al

If the front of the ramp has a bar, one old-timer solution is to wrap an old piece of carpet forward, over the bar and back, so the wheels pin the carpet down before climbing the ramp. I have two-pie

I've had exactly the same problem on concrete. My long-term solution was to go back to jacks & stands. Randall

I put mine on a couple bits of scrap rubber roofing membrane. Helps a lot. It also helps to make sure the ramps are straight, and both wheels hit the ramps at the same time. -- David Scheidt dmscheid

Depending on the configuration or material of the ramps, use either a strip of old carpet, nylon webbing or a rope, and fasten it to the ramp with a knot, staples screws or adhesive. Make sure the s

In my experience there's three possible conditions: a) Trowel-smooth driveway/garage floor, maybe painted, you're SOL no matter what. b) Typical driveway/garage with a little tooth, FWD goes up no p

Well, at least I know it's not a unique problem. Guess I'll try some tough rubber doormats or somethingn Thanks to all !! Karl

I usually put the ramps right at the transition from concrete to asphalt in front of the garage. There is often just enough of a lip to keep the ramps in place. Jon

The ramps I have are quite similar. They've never slid around when I'm driving up on them in anything I've put up there (though I don't use them a whole lot). And I agree on the extentions. Lots of

Absent a manufactured extension, a chunk of 2x8 laid on the ground in front of the ramp helps - bevel the leading edge if you're truly anal. John.

Easy fix, get a large piece of carpet (big enough to have both ramps on and the rear tires on.) the put the ramps on one end and drive over the carpet and ramps. Note, this gives you a carpet to work

I'd bet that these ramps will fit almost any car - they have a long ramp and a very low front lip - maybe 1/4". My Mustang Cobra is low-hanging in front (larger floor jacks won't fit), but it'll be

Although long carpet to the rear wheels would probably work better, you can probably get by just getting carpet under the front wheels even if it's a RWD car. Only needs about 3 feet of carpet. Obvio
