Ramps?

[Rolexus]

Weight limit on most ramps below front of truck weight. Also sometimes one will skid when driving on, making both uneven. Lastly tires usually too wide to fit pocket. Choose wisely.

I’ve found the ‘slide’ can be awkward, as the ramps do get repositioned. Best remedy, slowly walk up ramp with vehicle in 4WL. I’ve got 265 70R 17s, and if drive up ramp is centred, no problem - tires fit on my Composite Rhino ramps.

With age I have gotten more safety inclined........you only have a vehicle slip or slide on ramps once.

I just have a couple 2x’s with a 45* on one end of each, maybe 18” long, and I lay them on the ground in front of the ramps and drive up onto those first then onto the ramps. It just raises the truck up a bit so the air dam doesn’t hit the ramp. There’s really nothing that can go wrong. Been doing it for many years. I’m old and wise lol.

More like cheap af lol. I did order a set of the Rhino ramps to hopefully get away from using the 2x’s but just because I’d rather not hassle. They’re a gentler slope but idk if they’re as tall. But I figure for $40 it’s worth a shot.

I use these ramps by Mini-Lift. Very light and strong and have a short angle of approach. https://www.discountramps.com/sports_car_ramps/p/ML-1066/
Only drawback is they are one piece. Recommend these over all the other stamped steel or plastic ones that will slide away as you try to drive onto them.

1500lbs per axle probably wouldn't support our SUVs

Works with my 2001 Yukon XL and 2019 Yukon XL Denali just fine and any other cars I've got. Don't think you'll have an issue with 3,000 lb for front or rear axels and tires fit the ramps. Rated weight capacity of 1,500 lbs per runner/3,000 lbs total.

 

[gooffeyguy]

Oh, didn't know it was each. Usually "per axle" means entire front or rear or a pair of ramps

I shift into 4H when going up my ramps to keep them from sliding..

I just drive up mine, no issues with AWD.

Just thinking about a set of rhino ramps. I see lots of negative reviews but I think most are sue to misuse. Like using them on gravel and stuff.

So, what does the authority found here say. I read that they are a good product.

I bought a set and returned them. They still required me to use a couple pieces of 2x8’s to step the truck up on in order to clear the air dam since I’m lowered and they were a couple inches shorter than my cheap steel ones. If you’re not lowered they should work fine but check the height dimension- they seemed kinda low for me. Seemed well built though.

I forget how low you are, but would I have an issue with those being 2/4?

I’m at about 2/4 but I have a lower valance in the front.

I have an 05 with the lower valance. Also putting the HD front on this month finally. I guess I’ll just have to measure and match it up to see.
