Talking Re: How to make your own low profile car ramps

Me I have a couple of lifts, but I used to use the curb on a dead end street.

I really dont like the high vett wood ramps, they have no bracing to keep them from skewing sideways, and thats dangerous. The ends should be braced by at least a 2x8 or more or else the box can slip if you move the steering or when your loading. Braces are cheap and then you could have one side UNBOLT to allow side access; as the wheels are now self anchoring, side to side.

Ever try to ride up the one piece metal ramps and have them slip and get out of alignment?? After I put up with that, I got a lift at my shop for maintenence of the fleet and one lift for the home toy garage.

BEEEEE safe, life is already short - like toooo short. Woody
