I was considering getting the rhino ramps and was wondering if they even lift the car up enought to do an oil change, taking into consideration that my Z has Eibach Pro Kit. I can see it being useful when cleaning the filters but does it get the car high enough to do oil change, thanx.

 

For me it gets the car high enough to get a jack in there, lol.. and they and some security incase jankstands fail.


Theres enough clearance for an oil change...

 

Works fine with my Hotchkis springs.

 

looks like i'll be heading to kragen tomorrow, a pair for $20,
thanx

 

They will, but just barely. If I have to do any significant work, I'll drive on them then jack it up and use stands. My car is dropped also, and it's tough to get the jack under there.

 

yeah, you can do an oil change with them. For my header install I have the rhino's on the back and my dad's old metal ramps on the front which are about 4" higher. Much better clearance. I jacked it up onto those.

 

That's funny this past weekend I went to Kragen myself to pick up rhino ramps but when I saw them, I thought that they wouldn't raise my car enough to be worth it. I went looking around for metal ramps that were higher, autozone has one that'll lift about 7.5". Anywayz, I ended up using 4x4 blocks to do my job instead

Edit: hey showtime89, did you install longtube headers doing that?

 

Metal ramps didn't work for me even at the stock height, I had to have ramps for my ramps, now that the car is lowered, I roll up on a small 2" thick block of wood before I get my 3 1/8" low profile, 36" long jack under the car.

With the car lowered, the suspension will not raise the car enough even on metal ramps for me to comfortably change oil, but I have long arms.

 

In the process of doing that now. Hopefully I can finish today.
