I bought a set of Race Ramps from Reverse Logic last fall. One of the best $250 investments I've ever made.


Most of the time so much faster than a jack and stands. Included a small set that I drive up on to get a jack under the front for tire rotations etc.


Anyway, some may not be familiar so they are worth a look...

I just hate driving up ramps. It can be scary at times lol. I always feel like I'm going to drive off of them, especially with a manual transmission

These are not like old school metal ramps at all. Light weight, long incline for lowered cars, don't slide even a bit, have a stop on the end. So easy to use.

I thought I read somewhere in here you were NOT supposed to jack these cars by the pumpkin. Has that changed?

I was waiting for someone to ask that as well, getting tired of lifting one side at a time but too worried to try lifting by the pumpkin yet.

I had heard the same, considering using this to lift by both sides of the axle.
