    Default Any recommendations on cheap garage jacks/lifts??

    So I don't have a garage with high ceiling however other than a jack can anyone recommend a way to get under the car??

    The only thing that I have found is this company:

    http://www.raceramps.com/56raceramps.html

    Any one have these?

    Looks like a VERY overpriced version of Rhino Ramps.

    Funny, I've been looking at lifts as we're going to build another garage (3 car unattached) and my requirement is high enough to put in a lift.

    If ramps of this type are your pleasure, go to Autozone and get the Rhinos for $45 or so. OR, get a drive on, hydraulic type that will give you 2-3 feet underneath...nevermind, you said cheap. Go to AZ.

    rhinos are nice but they'll scrape on the front. A couple 12 inch pieces of 2x6 will fix that. Drive up on the 2x6s before you hit the ramps, no scrape.

    Like Wreck said, you could place some wood underneath the ramps to raise them, up to 3" (2 2X10) if wood is stepped up to ramp.

    That price adds $15 shipping...bringing it back to Autozone pricing. Trust me, I usually look at Amazon first for most things!
