I'm looking at getting some car ramps, but thinking that the G8 sits to low to be able to ride up them. Anyone find this to be a problem?

Nope, my rhino ramps work fine. It was a little close on the left side though!

I have the Rhino Ramps, it gets close, but you will clear, but not if you've lowered it at all.

One thing I have found is that you need the plastic ramps on a flat surface or they slide. I cant get mine on the ramps, I tried and tried. Also I have to use some short 2X4s in front to ride up on first or mine does hit.

I cleared my Rhino ramps and my car is lowered. Just go real slow as you first drive up on them. The issue with my lowered car is you don't have that much clearance under it. It was fine for an oil change ,but not good for exhaust work.

I have a couple pieces of 2x6. I drive up on them then up on the ramps. Boards not needed if putting rear on ramps.

This is what I do too. Worst case scenario is that you could stack a couple of 2x6's on each side and that should be more than enough.

I just bought the Blitz Rhino ramps, tried them out when I got home, they work great, even on the front, it's close to hitting the front but it makes it. Good buy at Pep Boys for $35!!!

No scrape at all with the Rhino Ramps. The only issue I had was the ramp sliding a bit, but that is easy to fix.

My Rhinos DO scrape if I don't use the boards. I'm on a slight upward incline so that could be why.
