Default My Ramps are too tall

I rolled over 1500 miles on my new GT and wanted to dump the factory oil. I found my ramps are too tall. The ramps I have rubbed but cleared my CV Sport and Marauder but will never clear the GT’s bumper. Does anyone have a suggestion where to buy some ramps that will clear the GT?

Discount auto, rhino ramps, $30. Or you could just go down to homedepot and have them cut you up a 2x8 into 2 foot lengths for $8. If you lower your car you'll need the 2x8's.

Friend of mine has a Pontiac Trans am and he had to modify his ramps...bolted pressure treated 1x material and extended his ramps about 1-1/2 Feet so the bumber would not rub! Had my stang on the same ramps and it didnt rub!

+1 on the rhino ramps...they'll work fine as long as you're not lowered or have a chin spoiler...

Like said above. 2x8's are the way to go. When I have my tires balanced/rotated, I take them with me.

Yah, when I went to NTB they took a long look at the car before they did anything. Think I'll be investing in some of those 2x8's lol.

Yeah just get some boards and build it up to the ramp, 9 times out of 10 that will work
