Anybody using Race Ramp especially the tire cribs. One of their cribs is 16 inches. Wonder how to Jack up a car that high.

I got them as a Christmas gift, although I’ve been around and used them for yrs at buddy’s places. I got the 12in set that are 2piece. 6 and 6. Love them, used a block of wood to get it all the way up. One of my in progress of 3, 69, 340 swingers.

I have the 6" wheel Cribs with additional 6" risers like pictured above, and I have their 48" low profile ramps to get under my newer Challenger since my floor jack don't fit under it. I also have their 72" trailer door extension ramps. All 3 work excellent and nice and lightweight for slinging around.

Made my own set out of 3/4" plywood 12" tall. Very useful for chassis set up.

Those look awesome, and easy to use, but $1000 for a set of 4. Anyone know what the load capacity of the home built 2x4 wood set will be? I can't justify $1000 for something I would use only a couple of times. I will say though, those look nice!

I was interested in Race Ramps when they first came out, but thought I could save money by making my own out of wood. I ended up with heavy blocks that were hard to move and still too steep for my car to clear. Finally bought a set of 67" Race Ramps and rear cribs. So much easier to use, and they are oil/water resistant and easy to clean. Well worth the investment. How do you Jack your car up that high. I have a Quickjack which when used works ok but your limited.

I bought a set of 4 from a buddy getting out of racing. Love them. Nice and light, and easy to throw in the race trailer. Opens up more room, since the car is supported by the tires.
