I&#8217;ve gone back and forth but have always wanted a good set of Race Ramps. The only drawback is, these are on the pricey side.\u00a0 Oh but they are well worth it!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve decided to go with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.raceramps.com\/2-piece-67-inch-race-ramps.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">RR-XT-2 67 Inch 2 piece race ramps<\/a>.\u00a0 These are a two piece design, meaning that once the car is in place and the wheels are chocked you can remove the ramp part so you have better access under the car.<\/p>\n<p>The RR-XT-2&#8217;s are also the tallest, at 10&#8243; tall, even a big guy like myself can easily get under the car on a <a title=\"sears metal frame creeper\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sears.com\/craftsman-40-in-creeper-metal-frame\/p-00951158000P\" target=\"_blank\">creeper<\/a>.\u00a0 They have bump stops at the end and are very wide, when driving up on the ramps by yourself.\u00a0 However I would always recommend using a spotter.\u00a0 This is where you start to get your return on investment by having kids :-). Also, always chock the wheels when using ramps or jack stands.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/?attachment_id=429\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-429\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-429\" title=\"dims\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/dims.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/dims.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/dims-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/dims-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a>Another thing to note is the weight, these things actually weight as much as a pillow.\u00a0 I was amazed at how light but durable these things are.<\/p>\n<p>Picture of my car on the ramps<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/?attachment_id=430\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-430\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-430\" title=\"ramps full\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_0758-1-1024x768.jpg\" width=\"584\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_0758-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_0758-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_0758-1-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_0758-1.jpg 1632w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>With the ramps separated<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/?attachment_id=431\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-431\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-431\" title=\"ramps seperated\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_0759-1-1024x768.jpg\" width=\"584\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_0759-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_0759-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_0759-1-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_0759-1.jpg 1632w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a>And the ramps removed for additional access around the wheel, when the car is up in the air<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/?attachment_id=432\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-432\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-432\" title=\"ramp removed\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_0761-1-1024x768.jpg\" width=\"584\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_0761-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_0761-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_0761-1-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.myplumcrazychallenger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_0761-1.jpg 1632w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You would be amazed to see what Race Ramps offers in the way of one piece ramps, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.raceramps.com\/trailer-ramps-loading-and-hauling-extensions.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">trailer ramps<\/a> (helps get car on trailers), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.raceramps.com\/car-display-ramps.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">display and show<\/a> (where the car is lifted on 4 pedestals),\u00a0 and even a ramp called the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.raceramps.com\/portable-pit-stop-ramp-racer.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Portable Pit Stop<\/a> (think mini lift).
