Thumbs up Ramping Up? - Rhino Ramps by Blitz

I purposely didn't buy these before so that I could put them on my xmas wish list, but nobody else got them off that list. So Merry Xmas to me! They were on sale at Auto Zone $40 (Reg $50), got the larger 12,000 lbs versions so I can use them on heavier trucks and they are slightly wider for wider tires.

Plus a set of Blitz wheel chalks for $6.95


Tight but good clearance on the line up.


Goes up real nice and easy.


And all chalked up


Great setup for doing oil changes I'm sure. No more jack in the way of your oil pan. Would have been good to have when I did my rear swap bar.

I got a set of those from my parents last year(09) for xmas. Worked great for when it was time for oil changes in my other HHR, didnt have to worry about fighting to get my floor jack underneath it.

Oh yeah. My nice big jack does get under the low front bumper. No longer a problem.

I like them !!! I had the antique steel ones, but when we moved here, the floor is too smooth, they just slid. So I gave em away.

I been meaning to get a pair of those..Be good for my tractor as well..

Got a set of 'em too, same problem you had sleeper, my old steel ramps just skid on the garage floor. I'm keeping the old ramps though, my Grandpa welded them up out of 3/16" steel about 40 years ago, not much they can't hold.

I have a set of the old steel ramps also, but they have seen their better days(i think they are probably as old as i am,lol). I asked for a new set because of that reason.

I've got a set of them about two years ago. I got the lighter duty model, I think they hold 8000 lbs. Really great set of ramps, lightweight and easy to store. Great for oil changes. I would highly recommend them.

Anyone know if these work with lowered HHRs?
