The Multi-Purpose ones in either the 10 or 12 inch versions. If so, comments....pros and cons?
These are pictures from Race Ramp's website.
Thanks, David

I just use large styrofoam blocks that I get from the local farm supply. Some bow hunters get them to practice on, too. Shouldn't be too hard to find and should cost a lot less money.

No link. I just go to our local Rural King farm and home store. They have some blocks of the styrofoam. And if you have any bow hunters in your area, they will probably know where to get them, too.

From what I have read on the web: Rural King and Tractor Supply don't actually sell the foam blocks. They use them "to put between their new trailers." Not exactly sure what is meant by that.

I agree all foam is not the same,
Not something I would want to leave to chance.

PS, the tires on the Muskrat are on the wrong side.......

I have used block foam to support big stuff for decades. When I was in the marine business, we used it under boats when they were stored on the ground. Both fiberglass and pontoon boats and often over the winter and sometimes for years. Have done it thousands of times, literally, with never a problem. We used the same blocks year after year. And many pontoon boat companies use closed cell foam IN their logs, which, at the time, was where we got the foam for our boat storage.
Today, I still have a few lying around that I got from Rural King that I use under the Cuda occasionally as well as for other jobs. I remember getting them from RR and that they didn't cost much, but it's been long enough ago that I don't remember just how much. It is not something that they keep for retail, but will sell. I get my wrapping plastic there, too. It's not stocked for retail either, but they will sell it from their supplies too if asked.
And yes, there certainly are different strengths of foam. That link I posted earlier has, at least, some of that info.

I like the concept of these But pricing isn’t cheap according to comments https://www.facebook.com/myliftstandBut looks like he sold out to another company , and was waiting for pricing and availability through Summit

How high / clearance would you need using the Race Ramps to slide a 727 Auto from underneath the car

I used a Kwik Lift when I swapped in my 518. I think you need to get the wheels at least 15” off the ground. They say it raises it 20” and I had some room to spare. From their website: Kwik-lift raises the bottom of the tires to 20 inches above the floor, putting the average chassis at about 30 plus inches above the floor.

Extended height is 14 inches. A set of 4 was priced at $550 - $600. Looks like the price has increased to $800.

Is in the "KWIK LIFT" videos , It's showing the 'cross-bar' piece as being in the REAR of the vehicle ? ? ? The way you have the Challenger on the lift looks incorrect ???? ?????
